Eliminating salt will lower the cost of production. Will we see a price cut for the products?

Are you old enough to remember when unleaded gasoline came on the scene? Lead was an additive, not adding lead should have made the product cheaper right? Not so, when both were available, unleaded was more expensive.

See #10.

Holding taste or octane constant is more expensive without a "magic" (cheaper, very effective)) ingredient in the mix.

Unleaded is more expensive because lead is one of the cheapest octane-boosters there is.
