Default Salt.....the industry and food manufacturers are pushing backagainst the "lower the salt" forces.

Well, possibly. If one wishes to consume 2 grams of
sodium and 2000 calories per day, then on average that
is not undersalted. OTOH, if one can make some of one's
daily calories (fruit, yogurt, breakfast cereal) completely
unsalted, then one can make the savory dinner items
a little more salty and not exceed the target.

You say this is a new item... possibly they are thinking
ahead to when there is more regulation, and pro-actively
putting in less sodium.
