Regulations relating to food-grade salt (No. R. 184 of 2007).

These Regulations define standards for “food-grade salt”, i.e. a crystalline product consisting of 97% sodium chloride which is used as an ingredient or flavouring in or on foodstuff and which may be obtained from the sea, underground rock salt deposits or natural brine. It also lays down specific standards for salt to be exported, imported or placed on the market of South Africa and prohibits the sale of sub-standard salt. Food-grade salt may contain the additives listed in these Regulations but not contain specified contaminants. The Regulations also contain rules relative to packing and labeling of food-grade salt.
