Salt Facts

Salt Facts: "7) Are there any warning labels on fluoridated salt packages? Generally not. In Europe it usually only says “fluoridated salt”. The only European country we know of so far that has a warning label on some fluoridated salt is France. It says: “Do not consume if drinking water contains more than 0.5 milligrams of fluoride per liter' Guidelines drafted by PAHO in 2001 concerning mandatory salt fluoridation in South America specified that the following sentence should be on the labels: “Do not consume or sell this product in areas where water for human consumption has fluorine levels higher than 0.7 ppm” In Belgium fluoridated salt has been banned, as of 2002"
