    As I use a lot of common salt each day for medicinal purposes, I recently decided to seek an alternate to add to my hot chips.
    I purchased 200g of Mitani Classic Chicken Salt from Coles but found it unpalatable
    The main part of the label describes the product as “Classic Chicken Salt” but when I tasted it all I could taste was spicy salt.
    As there was no chicken taste, I decided to investigate further and found that further down the label it said that the product was “Vegetarian”. This made me wonder, how could it be both chicken and vegetarian?
    A check of the ingredients revealed that the word chicken was not even mentioned.
    As I pay $1.00kg for common salt, I think Mitani spicy salt at $3.45 for 200g (ie $17.25 kg) is very expensive.
    I feel that the description of “Classic Chicken Salt” is very deceptive as the product does not actually contain any chicken.
    I noted that the product was made in Australia and looked at their website (Mitani.com.au) in order to work out the best way to contact them.
    I tried ringing their listed phone number 8285 0555 on several occasions but received an automated message stating that I entering a “Meeting Room” and to the wait for the “Host” to join the meeting.
    I also sent them a message on 17.06.22 to their “Get In Touch” page requesting a refund. Having received no response after 10 days I decided to post this review.


  • Best chicken salt ever

    4 out of 5

    Best chicken salt in the market! I love that it’s Australian made and goes great with absolutely anything. It’s also got zero MSG which is a bonus.


  • Spicy

    To be honest, I had high high hopes for this salt, and I was a little disappointed. I’m still yet to find that perfect takeaway chicken salt brand!


  • So tasty

    I have a friend who’s moved to the United States and he can’t get chicken salt over there so everytime I void it I bring some for him


  • Yum

    Great flavoured salt for chips and pizzas. Something extra for our potato gems also. Great quality and okay price for the flavour. Easy to find with the spice section.


  • Kids love it

    As a mum to some extremely fussy children they love this chicken salt and they think the home made chips are actually charcoal chicken woo hoo


  • Tastes great but has limited shelf life once open

    This product is awesome for chicken salt on hot chips. However, its not very long before it gets too hard and you cannot use any more. I’ve tried to get round this by putting in a glass salt shaker with some rice and it seems to have worked somewhat. Seems most chicken salts do this.


  • Just like the fish shop

    I used to buy a big hot chips with chicken salt and sit in the laundromat next door and eat while I washed. This takes me back. The taste is great and makes me remember the single days of no responsibilities.
