Most European countries are iodine-deficiency areas. To avoid illnesses caused by iodine deficiency, the use of iodized food-grade salt is recommended. Furthermore, food-grade salt can also be used as a vehicle for a variety of active substances, e.g. fluoride. It can also be mixed with herbs, spices and flavourings.
To the food industry esco offers a variety of rock and vacuum salt products that are certified according to DIN-EN ISO 9001 and HACCP. Steady quality and specific granulation are very important in food processing – and, of course, they are constantly monitored in our quality management system.
