Is this product for cats or people? Most of the comments say cats. I am looking for it for Dashi

This is a product for people. I use it for dashi. It is a good pure flake. That said my cats love it and I have shared

Do these have sodium or salt added?

I don't see salt/sodium as an added ingredient. Ingredients are listed as Bonito. Period. The label states that there are 50 mg per 1 cup serving (2%). Hope that helps. My cats love them but I've never personally tasted them.

What is the expiry period on this product?

the package I received last month is Nov 8, 2017. but I order it for my cats and they really don't care. THEY LOVE IT!!!
