True "rock salt" is actually mineralised salt in "rock form" ..ie it is chunky like a rock yet in a crystaline form...often fed to cows as "mineral or rock" salt or lick...the animals know instinctivly to lick it because it gives the salt and minerals needed

In chemistry, salts are substances that contain a positive ion and a negative ion. Every living thing relies on salts to conduct electricity and to keep the fluid concentrations in the acceptable range.

Any food will contain salt.

Many minerals are salts.

If you mean what substances are likely to contain a high concentration of sodium chloride ie table salt then the answer would be:

  • processed or canned food
  • fast foods
  • preserved meats like bacon or ham
  • bread
  • snack foods
  • oceans
