What distinguishes industrial salt from food-grade salt in China's market?
For buyers, specifying grade is critical. Substituting industrial salt in food processing is illegal and dangerous due to impurities. Conversely, using food-grade salt in industrial applications is wasteful and costly. China's salt reform in 2016 opened the market, allowing more producers to sell directly, but quality certification remains essential—always request assay reports for chloride content, moisture, and impurity levels when sourcing industrial salt.
