Do you have any examples? I’m not a chemist but I don’t believe you can have “chloride” alone as an ingredient. If it were alone it would be elemental chlorine, which is an entirely different animal and I sincerely doubt any drink maker would be putting free chlorine into their drinks.

A “chloride” on the other hand is a compound of chlorine already combined with some other element, which is presumably not sodium or you would’ve not said the sodium and chloride were separate. So you could have “potassium chloride” for example, but this would not turn into “sodium chloride” simply by existing in the same liquid as elemental sodium, because it’s perfectly happy sticking with the potassium and being potassium chloride.
