Verdict: fssai permits the use of potassium ferrocyanide up to 10 mg per 1 kg. of salt. salt brands like tata salt keep the pfc level at 3 mg per kilo, much within the permitted limit, making the salt safe for consumption. pfc is an anti-caking agent that keeps the salt grains dry. tata chemicals has also refuted the claim and has said that they use pfc as per the approved levels.
