Cornish Sea Salt’s TekSalt: A Game-Changer for Food Manufacturers Seeking Low-Sodium Solutions

Consumer & Market Research, Apr 01, 2025

Tek Salt Crowned Present-Day Collaboration of the neural Sea Salt with a Micro mineralizing and Less-Sodium Sea Salt Exclusively Made for Food Manufacturers. The Tek Salt will thus serve as a totally pleasing natural salt substitute-that also benevolently fulfils worldwide stark sodium-reduction requirements completely honoring flavor-on-the-palate-and-in-the-sensible-conservation.

Why Tek Salt? A Natural Alternative top PDV & Potassium-Based Salt

Commonly used as salt in husbandry to characterize the purity within the food system with standard salt, PDV salt lacks balanced mineralization in dropping sodium intake without incurring an unreasonable niggle in taste. Tek Salt, on the other hand:

Provides a salty flavor that acts as a counterpoint to substitution in reducing sodium.
Brings out the flavor naturally in a way that avoids bitter and metallic aftertastes attributable to many potassium substitutes.
Allowing a clean label: put ‘sea salt’ in the ingredient list.
Experience smooth mouthfeel and complex flavor layers—an accepted assessment by 90% of food service professionals in a blinded taste test.

Science in the Making of Tek Salt

Tek salt is a unique brine extracted from grade A Cornish water, capturing all the rich mineral complexity that verges on the geology of the Lizard Peninsula. This product has a special formulation that does not rely solely on potassium chloride to exhibit its saltiness because Tek Salt also contains sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium balanced mixed to deliver highly salty yet functional advantages in food applications.

What Can Food Manufacturers Add using Tek Salt?

The free flowing, naturally enhanced mineral profile of Tek Salt makes it the direct replacement of PDV salt in:

Sometimes Ready Meals – Flavor enhancement and sodium reduction

Bakery Products – Provides functional seasoning without compromising texture

Snacks (Crisps, Popcorn, Nuts) – Consistent salty hit while using lower sodium levels All

Dairy, Meat and Fish Processing – Improved seasoning minus the metallic taste of potassium

Plant-based – Savory balance without artificial additives

Sauces and Dips – Complexity without excess sodium in flavor

Sustainability and Clean Label Benefits

Tek Salt is produced from the eco-friendly salt house of Cornish Sea Salt powered by solar and renewable energy, thereby fulfilling its role in continuing the industry’s push toward sustainable sourcing of ingredients. It is also BRCGS accredited, ensuring the highest standards of food safety and quality.

Industry Recognition & Adoption in the Market

Tek Salt has already made it to the shortlist of the Food Manufacture Awards, a signal to its revolutionary innovations towards healthy food processing.
Among the industry’s early adopters, here is what they have had to say on the use of Tek Salt:

Enhanced compliance in sodium reduction without reformulation of recipes
