Inorganic salt · Ingredient identity
Sodium chloride
A sodium chloride identity is more specific than “aquarium salt.” Evaporated-seawater products, marine mixes and magnesium sulfate should be kept distinct.
Look for: NaCl · salt (incomplete label term)

Where it appears
API’s submitted label identifies sodium chloride granules and describes the product as made from evaporated seawater. This is the label for the named freshwater product.
What cannot be inferred
An origin statement does not give a trace-mineral profile or show that a marine mix, a table salt or an Epsom salt product is an equivalent formulation.
What to capture
Record the exact ingredient or mixture name, the product and whether water left the system. Do not infer a sodium chloride fraction from the word salt alone.
