Smart Salt® Magnesium Technology is providing the UK food industry with an easy replacement product for salt, and therefore sodium, in their formulations. The technology allows 50% sodium reduction and an increase in potassium and magnesium. Enlightened restaurant chains and branded, processed food products are already using the technology to produce great tasting foods with well-being.
There is growing support for this approach as part of national and international salt reduction strategies with opportunities for governments to make new policy recommendations around the salt content of processed foods. Although the food industry in the UK has responded well to some recent governmental initiatives, sodium reduction in processed foods has slowed down in recent years but is nowhere near the 6g per day that is recommended by the UK government. The average salt intake in the UK is now 8.4g. A further reduction in average salt intake to 6 g per day is estimated to prevent over 8,000 premature deaths each year and save the NHS over £570 million annually
But why wait for government intervention and sodium levels to change in processed foods? You can be ahead of this initiative by using Suölo®, now, in all your home cooking and the recipes you make from scratch.
