It is on YOU to learn if your food has a salt substitute that may cause you problems.

"The FDA’s new rule does not create a special front-of-package disclosure requirement telling consumers that a salt substitute was used. However, consumers will generally be able to find out by reading the ingredient list.

[...]

Potential side effects largely depend on the substitute used. Potassium-based substitutes may pose risks for people with kidney disease or those taking certain medications that affect potassium levels. Excess potassium can lead to hyperkalemia, a condition that can cause abnormal heart rhythms."
