What is the food industry doing to reduce the amount of salt in processed food?
Manufacturers and retailers have reported different levels of salt reduction in a range of foods. Some low-salt and reduced-salt options of standard products are now available and this increases consumer choice. There have also been some improvements in labelling of salt in processed foods. The Food and Drink Federation, which represents the UK food and drink manufacturing industry, has recently made a commitment to reduce salt levels in soups and sauces.
