Why is salt not available to add when you build your own recipe? has anyone else notice this issue?? I track my sodium so this is important and I don't like it one bit. How does everyone else add it? please let me know! thanks ;)

    Did you look under Table Salt, or Spices?

    Hmm... thats weird...
    You could always create it as a new food, or build your recipe minus the salt, then scan it if you have a phone & barcode scanner, so you can still see your sodium intake

    I am able to add it. I type in Kosher Salt and it comes up by 1/4 tsp to add to my recipes. Try Kosher Salt.

    it is actually. Search for table salt and then change the measurement to a "dash" for salting food or it's also got the regular measurements.
