Answer:

It is within the daily limit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Salt = 40% sodium

60% chloride

0.3 grams of salt = 120 mg of sodium

120 mg of sodium = 0.0525 of a teaspoon

People who suffer from heart related diseases, elderly, are older than age of 14 or are simply healthy, can consume 120 mg of sodium per day.

When it comes to the first two groups of people ( elderly and sick ) they should limit their daily intake of sodium to 1500 mg per day. For the healthy ones and children that are older than 14, they should limit their sodium intake, per day, to less than 2300 mg per day.
