Salt laws

Salt laws refer to regulations or restrictions related to the production, distribution, and sale of salt, often implemented for health, economic, or security reasons. Historically, some governments limited salt access to control trade or revenue and prevent illicit use. In modern times, salt regulations may address fortification for health (like iodine addition), quality standards, or import/export controls. These laws ensure salt safety, prevent adulteration, and promote public health, while balancing economic interests and security considerations.
