sel de mer aromatisé
Explanation:
ou "assaisonnement aromatisé au sel de mer", ou "assaisonnement de sel de mer aromatisé"...

Là où je veux en venir, c'est qu'il faut faire attention et éviter d'emmener les gens (qui pourraient suivre un régime à basse teneur en sodium) à penser qu'il s'agit d'un remplacement de sel à saveur de sel de mer...

Merci à tous ceux qui ont choisi "neutral" plutôt que "disagree" lorsqu'ils n'étaient pas d'accord avec une partie de ma proposition. Je sais que, selon le point de vue (essaie-t-on de traduire la description anglaise du produit ou de donner une description juste du produit à l'aide de la liste d'ingrédients que le demandeur a eu la présence d'esprit de nous fournir), une même traduction est susceptible d'être considérée comme acceptable ou non. J'espère que Thierry saura trouver aisément la solution qui lui convient.

disagree  Tony M: Absolutely not! This is a composite seasoning that INCLUDES sea-salt (but almost certainly wouldn't be FLEUR de sel); this would amount to misrepresentation.

disagree  LydieC: fleur de sel is natural and does not contain what is discribed

disagree  emiledgar: fleur de sel is the carefully harvested top layer of naturally formed sea salt..

In a list of ingredients, they are listed in decreasing order of percentage content; hence why this cannot be called 'flavoured sea-salt', as for that the sea-salt would have to be the principal ingredient. Here, it is a 'seasoning preparation' that includes sea-salt to give it flavour; with these sort of things, it is very important to be technically precise, otherwise one could be challenged under the Trade Descriptions Act etc. The rules are just as strict in France, it's just that the translator-in-the-street doesn't always stop to think about the precise significance of the exact wording used.

I nearly got caught out the other day when I went to buy (not for myself, I hasten to add!) some deep-frozen minced beef; there were two kinds, one much cheaper than the other — but I noticed one was called 'égréné de bœuf' and the other 'égréné au bœuf'. Intrigued, I checked out the ingredients, and sure enough, the 'de bœuf' was 100% pure beef, while the 'au bœuf' contained a fairly high percentage of 'vegetable protein'; unsurprisingly, neither mentioned the possible presence of minced My Little Pony ;-)

neutral  emiledgar: I could be wrong but from the list of ingredients it seems that the English name for the product is a little misleading; it's not a seasoning flavored with sea salt but a seasoning made with sea salt and other flavorings so I woldn't call it arôme sel de

  -> The EN name is technically correct: the sea salt is not the prinicpal ingredient, hence it cannot be called the other way round; it is a seasoning that includes enough sea salt to give it the taste... It's all about Trade Descriptions!

agree  Michaela Pizzinini
5 mins
  -> Merci Michaela! (Quel nom magnifique vous avez!)
agree  NancyLynn: en effet il y a d'autres épices, c'est donc assaisonné
1 hr
  -> Merci NancyLynn.
agree  Schoonbeek: "assaisonnement au sel marin aromatisé" is it for English Crisps.... they have weird tastes here, but they would have put the cidre in teh name as well
1 hr
  -> Merci Schoonbeek.
neutral  Tony M: I agree with your last 2 suggestions (which are pretty much the same as my own), but NOT your headword suggestion, which is 'the wrong way round'
9 hrs
  -> Thank you Tony. I wasn't sure the English description matched the ingredient list... I am sure your comment will be helpful to the asker
agree  LydieC
9 hrs
  -> Merci Lydie
neutral  Séverine Dupied: Je suis d'accord avec Tony, les deux dernières propositions conviennent tout à fait, mais pas la première.
10 hrs
  -> Merci Séverine - (voir commentaire fait à Tony)
neutral  Christophe Delaunay: D'accord avec Tony également :)
10 hrs
  -> OK. (voir commentaire fait à Tony)
agree  emiledgar: I think your first suggestion is correct it is flavored sea salt regardless of the wording of the name in the source text.
10 hrs
  -> Merci emiledgar. Si le sel de mer était le premier ingrédient, je n'hésiterais pas. Puisqu'il est le deuxième, j'hésite...
neutral  Claire Gerard: It is not 'flavored sea salt' but 'sea salt flavour', which means that the first and the last suggestions are wrong since the salt is not flavoured, it is the flavour of the seasoning.
11 hrs
  -> The English description dangerously talks about sea salt flavour when there is true sea salt in second place of the ingredient list. This is what I was trying to avoid.
