On average, Indian consumers consume 10 grams of salt per day. While the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends no more than five grams of salt consumption per day. The country's high salt consumption is primarily due to preference for spicy foods, such as pickles, which have a high salt content that serves as a preservative. Despite several initiatives launched in recent years to raise public awareness about the issues related to excessive salt consumption, the trend of high salt consumption continues in the country.
As the population has shifted from rural to urban areas, an increase in the consumption of salts, such as mineral salt, which has been largely accompanied by the benefits, has been observed in the country. The preference for mineral salt is inextricably linked with how consumers are connected to social media, where the prevalence of the Internet as a medium has led to the rapid changes in food consumption.

With the development of new products such as Mediterranean Umami, which includes natural vegetable extracts and sea salt, the challenge of significantly reducing sodium in processed foods while maintaining clean label image has been resolved. Companies benefit from the development of these products by being able to formulate lower sodium applications, such as soups, sauces, and bakery.
