Many of us know that eating too much salt is bad for health. Thanks to the efforts of the food industry, governments and health organizations, the danger of excessive salt intake is on the agenda in many countries around the world.

However, we are still far from the global reduction in average salt intake less than 5 g per day, which means we need more effective action. Most prepared foods still contain a lot of hidden salt, even those that do not necessarily taste salty.

For example, a huge number of harmful salts contained not only in crackers and chips, and all smoked meats, sausages, sausages, dumplings. A lot of hidden salt in cheese and even bread!

The organizers of the Week of understanding the consumption of salt appeal to all: to the experts in the field of healthcare, to government, to companies in the food industry – think with your heart, allow buyers to choose products with less salt content. Each of us can contribute to raising awareness!
