Food Grade Sodium Chloride – Purity You Can Trust for the Food Industry
Arch Industries is a leading manufacturer and supplier of food grade sodium chloride, delivering high-purity salt that meets stringent global food safety standards. Our refined salt is processed in controlled environments, ensuring exceptional purity, safety, and consistency for use in food processing, preservation, and flavor enhancement.
Why Our Food Grade Sodium Chloride Stands Out
Unlike regular table salt, sodium chloride salt food grade is produced under strict quality protocols to ensure it is free from harmful impurities, heavy metals, and contaminants. We supply both fine and coarse grades, packaged to maintain freshness and meet the exacting needs of –
-> Bakeries & confectionery production
-> Meat processing and curing facilities
-> Snack and seasoning manufacturers
-> Dairy & cheese production
-> Beverage and fermentation industries
As one of the most trusted food grade salt manufacturers and food grade salt suppliers, we deliver not only product quality but also reliable bulk supply solutions across local and international markets.
Global Compliance & Certifications
Our food-grade sodium chloride complies with:
- ISO 9001 for quality management and food safety
- FSSAI & ISO 22000
Applications in the Food Industry

FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is food grade sodium chloride used for?
Ans – Food grade sodium chloride — often known as refined edible salt — is used in cooking, food processing, and preservation. It’s the type of salt that meets strict purity and safety standards set by regulatory bodies, making it safe for direct human consumption. You’ll find it in everything from everyday table salt to bakery mixes, snacks, canned foods, and dairy products. In industrial food production, it also helps control fermentation, improve flavor, and extend shelf life without introducing harmful impurities.
Q2: Is sodium chloride the only edible salt?
Ans – No — while sodium chloride is the most common edible salt, it’s not the only one. Other edible salts include potassium chloride (often used in low-sodium diets), Himalayan pink salt, sea salt, and rock salt varieties. Each type may have unique mineral traces, textures, and flavors, but they all must meet food-grade safety standards to be consumed. Choosing between them often depends on dietary needs, culinary preference, and intended use in recipes or food manufacturing.
Q3: What’s the difference between food grade and industrial grade salts?
Ans – The key difference lies in purity and intended use. Food grade salt is highly refined, with controlled levels of moisture and additives, and is tested to ensure it’s safe for consumption. Industrial grade salt, on the other hand, is produced for applications like de-icing roads, water treatment, and manufacturing — it may contain impurities or additives unsuitable for eating. While both are chemically sodium chloride, only food grade salt passes the regulatory standards for human consumption.
Q4: How is food grade sodium chloride certified for export?
Ans – Export certification for food grade sodium chloride involves several steps –
- Purity Testing – Independent labs verify compliance with Food Standard or destination country standards.
- Food Safety Compliance – Manufacturers must meet FSSAI, ISO, or similar food safety protocols.
- Export Documentation – Certificates of analysis, origin, and compliance are submitted for customs clearance.
Working with an experienced food grade salt supplier ensures all requirements are met smoothly, reducing the risk of shipment delays.
