Hi, I was just wondering if anyone could expand on which foods contain chloride or are particularly (naturally) rich in chloride --87.194.204.18 08:57, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Anything with (ordinary table) salt in it. Atropos235 03:56, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Almost any salt contains chloride ions, even substitute salts such as potassium chloride. --Chemicalinterest (talk) 19:50, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

IMHO this article teems with grammatical inexactitude. The ide suffix is used to indicate a chemical compound. A lot of the time "chloride" is used when it should be "chlorine". "Chloride" can be used as a generic reference to a compound that contains chlorine, but there is no such thing as an element with the name of "chloride". "Chloride ion" implies the compound has an ion, when what is intended is a chlorine ion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.59.91.73 (talk) 16:34, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Apparently some common anions add the -ide suffix without that denoting a compound, thus Cl^- (chlorine anion) becomes the anion named Chloride.

In diet

The article should say something about the role & sources of chloride in human diet. Ben Finn (talk) 11:18, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

Agreed. Chloride is an essential micronutrient with Recommended Dietary Allowance values and such. Unfortunately there is no mention of it on this page, the Chlorine page or the Sodium chloride page. 2601:CD:C480:1BB0:7D28:D223:E51:B32B (talk) 04:04, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

Covalent chloride group

Chloride Group currently is about some company. Who can fix this elegantly so the company is mentioned at the top of the page chloride as 'other uses' and 'chloride group' directs to this lemma? Thanks in advance,
