What the AI looks for in Seasoned Salts

Salt is the first ingredient
Count it as your salt. Don't add more salt on top. Seasoned salts are mostly salt, so stacking them oversalts the dish.
Reduced-sodium versions
Look for 'less sodium' versions if you use it daily. It cuts sodium without changing your habits.
