The food industry is focused on developing and providing better-for-you products that taste good but enable reduced sodium consumption. The reason for this is that excess sodium consumption contributes to cardiovascular disease, a leading cause of premature death globally. According to the WHO, “Almost all populations are consuming too much sodium. The global mean intake of adults is 4310 mg/day sodium (equivalent to 10.78 g/day salt). This is more than double the World Health Organization recommendation for adults of less than 2000 mg/day sodium (equivalent to < 5 g/day salt). The primary health effect associated with diets high in sodium is raised blood pressure, increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, gastric cancer, obesity, osteoporosis, Meniere’s disease, and kidney disease. An estimated 1.89 million deaths each year are associated with consuming too much sodium. Reducing sodium intake is one of the most cost-effective measures to improve health and reduce the burden of non-communicable diseases. The WHO estimates at least $12 of savings for every $1 invested in sodium reduction initiatives.
