Abstract
A sodium chloride substitute composition having low bitterness and an intense sodium chloride flavor is prepared containing autolyzed yeast, ammonium chloride and optionally potassium chloride.

The composition contains an amount of autolyzed yeast relative to the amount of ammonium chloride in the range of about 60 to 95 percent by weight. The composition is suitable for use in processed meats and snack foods.
