The food sounds good and I found this on salt from another dog food that is recommended by Whole Dog Journal:

Why is there salt in the dry dog food?
The salt in the foods helps to satisfy the requirement for sodium and chloride. The requirement for sodium is 0.3% and 0.45% for chloride in the dog foods. The salt is added at 0.6%, 12 lbs per ton of day diet. Salt also helps to stimulate water intake for pets that are confined to the air-conditioned homes.
