The denominator matters

The selected Tesco panel lists19.50g salt per100g of the dry mix and0.85g for its labelled4.37g reference portion. The UK maker gives17.61g per100g and0.77g for its4.37g reference. These are two source panels,not interchangeable numbers or a recommendation to use that amount.

Do not compare dry mix with a finished meal

A prepared meal contains other ingredients and a different total mass. The site does not add hypothetical meat,vegetables or tortillas to calculate a dish’s nutrition. A sachet’s dry per100g panel cannot be compared directly with a ready-to-eat meal’s per100g panel as if the bases were identical.

A useful buying question

A buyer wanting to understand whether salt is part of the seasoning can answer that from the ingredient list. A buyer seeking an exact applicable salt figure must first resolve which actual pack version is supplied. The single-spice pages do not establish complete current nutrition panels,so missing salt fields are not filled with zero.

Keep the scope narrow

Read the actual current nutrition basis and product purpose before choosing a mix. No daily limit,personal portion,clinical suitability or low-salt claim is generated here. The calculator compares purchase mass and money;it does not prescribe an amount to eat or use.

A concrete purchase record

Salt appearing in the ingredient list answers whether it is deliberately included in this blend. It does not give a percentage unless a source establishes one. The per100g nutrition entry is a declared nutrient value for its stated product basis. Do not use an ingredient’s position to estimate an unlabelled concentration or a personalised amount for a meal.
