Complain about no salt in the food.

Hi

Would you say that the red phrase reads naturally?

The children complained about no salt in the food.

Thanks,

Tom

It's not very natural, and children would be unlikely to pinpoint the reason for their food lacking flavour. It's more natural to say the food was short of salt.
