The present invention relates to a process to prepare a salt productcontaining sodium chloride (NaCI) and at leastone additive, wherein the salt product has a particle size of from 50 µm to10 mm, which process comprises the steps of: a) optionally,crushing a sodium chloride-containing material to a particle size that isbetween 1,000 times smaller and 3 times smaller thanthe size of the final salt product； b) optionally, crushing the at least oneadditive starting material to a particle size that is between0.5 and 2 times the particle size of the sodium chloride-containing materialparticles resulting from step a.)； c) subsequently, mixingthe sodium chloride-containing material particles of a particle size that isbetween 1,000 times smaller and 3 times smallerthan the size of the final salt product, and additive particles of a particlesize that is between 0.5 and 2.0 times the particle size ofthe sodium chloride-containing material particles； d) subsequently, compactingthe particle mixture resulting from step c.) using apressure of from 40 to 400 MPa； e. subsequently, crushing the compacted saltproduct to give particles of the desired particle sizeof 50 µm to 10 mm； wherein the steps are carried out under substantiallydry conditions. Additionally, the invention provides thelow sodium salt product obtainable by the process and the use thereof forhuman or animal consumption.
