To my shame, I didn’t immediately think of that. I’m probably just too exhausted by all of this and don’t care anymore. You’re absolutely right. It’s going to be sodium aluminosilicate, isn’t it. And when anyone complains, a court is going to say, “that’s technically a form of salt and we use that in food already so it’s safe and approved for people; case dismissed with prejudice.”
From a chemical perspective any crystalline ionic compound is a salt. They can just as easily be using it in that sense, knowing most people will think table salt.
I haven't heard of this term used before but I've referred to this tactic. I'm going to use this. There's a related technique where they make up new words and use coordinated media to manifest it.

Yep, word-concept fallacy. When they don't lie with statistics they lie with definitions.

It's a term from philosophy of language. It's also known as etymological fallacy.
