Is salt considered a common food allergen?

Salt is not considered a common food allergen. Food allergens typically include substances such as peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, wheat, soy, fish, and shellfish, which are known to provoke allergic reactions in a significant portion of the population. Salt, primarily sodium chloride, does not have the same potential to trigger an immune response or allergic reaction as these common allergens. While some individuals may have specific sensitivities or health conditions that require them to limit or avoid salt, this is not the same as an allergy. Thus, in the context of food allergens recognized by health organizations, salt does not belong to that category, making it accurate to state that it is not a common food allergen.
