Do you have any examples? I’m not a chemist but I don’t believe you can have “chloride” alone as an ingredient. If it were alone it would be elemental chlorine, which is an entirely different animal and I sincerely doubt any drink maker would be putting free chlorine into their drinks.
A “chloride” on the other hand is a compound of chlorine already combined with some other element, which is presumably not sodium or you would’ve not said the sodium and chloride were separate. So you could have “potassium chloride” for example, but this would not turn into “sodium chloride” simply by existing in the same liquid as elemental sodium, because it’s perfectly happy sticking with the potassium and being potassium chloride.
I’m not OP but I’m wondering if perhaps they are mixing up ingredients with nutrition facts or just marketing content?
Here are screenshots from a mix I was looking at just last night. Chloride is listed as one of the electrolytes, and it’s listed separately in the nutrition facts. But in the ingredients it’s just “salt”.
I’m just speculating though.
Edit: TIL cropping images then hitting “copy and delete” to close them does not actually paste a cropped image on my new phone. That’s annoying.
Yeah, I think I did mix up the nutrition facts and ingredients. Or they changed the labels because I checked ononline and in a store and it says salt. I don’t see sodium and chloride though so maybe they did change the label.
