What Is Potassium Chloride?

Potassium chloride (KCl) is a naturally occurring mineral compound used as a sodium-free alternative to traditional salt. Sourced from the mineral-rich Dead Sea basin, TEKPAK’s KCl offers a clean-label option for food manufacturers seeking to lower sodium content without compromising functionality.

Chemically similar to sodium chloride (NaCl), potassium chloride delivers the same preservative and binding characteristics — and provides a subtle salty flavor with zero sodium. Our KCl is ideal for formulation in soups, sauces, dry blends, and wellness products focused on heart health or electrolyte balance.

Why Use Potassium Chloride in Food Products?

Potassium chloride is widely used by food manufacturers looking to reduce sodium while maintaining flavor and functionality. It mimics the sensory and technical properties of salt, making it ideal for use in:

  • Soups, sauces, and gravies
  • Snacks and seasoning blends
  • Protein applications like bone broth or deli meat
  • Electrolyte and hydration products

TEKPAK’s Dead Sea–sourced KCl meets clean-label expectations and supports product claims related to sodium reduction, heart health, and functional nutrition. We also offer custom blends and consultations to help you match target sodium profiles without sacrificing taste.
