That is true!
I’ve often wondered about this myself. It seems to me a classic “cry wolf” scenario where all their more needed warnings on much more dangerous chemicals are deprecated when one sees they are over the top on their warnings about plain table salt! After all, if they’re willing to act that dire about salt, then maybe all the rest of their warnings are exaggerated too! I’ve never figured out why anyone would shoot their own system in the foot like that other than the usual litigation sensitivities which force them to do it (to the same result).
[Besides … NaCl often also comes with another toxic component in it: Iodine! Strike two!]
