Review of salt reduction targets
www.food.gov.uk/healthiereating/salt/
In March 2006 the FSA published a set of voluntary salt reduction targets for 85 categories of food, as guidance to the food industry. The Agency committed to review the targets in 2008, to formally assess progress to date and to establish what further reductions are necessary to maintain progress towards the intake target.
Development of salt targets
Around 75% of the salt we eat comes from processed foods, so the FSA has been working with the food industry to encourage reductions in the levels of salt in these foods.
Salt timeline of key events
Since 2003 the FSA has had in place a programme of work to help UK consumers reduce their salt intakes. High salt intakes contribute to high blood pressure, which can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. This initiative forms an important part of our work to make healthy eating an easier option and reduce diet related diseases. The maximum recommended salt intake for adults is 6g a day.
Progress with industry in relation to salt reduction
Salt reduction is a priority for Government as outlined in the White Paper on Public Health. Working with the food industry and other stakeholders, the Food Standards Agency has a target to reduce the salt intake of the population to 6g per person per day by 2010.
Salt in processed food
The Food Standards Agency has developed a model to look at the effects of reducing the average salt content of different food groups on the population's salt intake.
Salt Stakeholder Meeting 15 July 2004
The meeting was attended by over 40 representatives from industry, consumer and health organisations. It was addressed in turn by Paul Lincoln (National Heart Forum), Mark Kerr (British Hospitality Association/Whitbread), Alison Percy (Cragg Ross Dawson) and Neil Martinson (Director of Communications FSA). Tom Murray (Head of Nutrition FSA) chaired the meeting.
Dietary sodium levels surveys
These surveys assessed dietary sodium levels among adults in the general population, based on analysis of 24-hour urine samples.
British Meat Processors Association guidance
The British Meat Processors Association (BMPA), in collaboration with the FSA, has published a guidance document for small and medium sized businesses on salt reduction. This publication provides information and practical tips for businesses on how to reduce salt in meat products, while considering factors such as food safety, labelling and additives.
Salt self-reporting framework
The Agency published voluntary salt reduction targets in March 2006, which aim to help progress towards our Strategic Plan target of reducing average population salt intakes to no more than 6g a day for adults (less for children), and also to help guide the food industry as to the levels of reduction that the Agency considers achievable.
Understanding and perceptions of heart disease and stroke
In June 2004 the Agency commissioned some research as it wished to develop a deeper understanding of public perceptions of heart disease and stroke and the factors that trigger these conditions (including salt). Remember we at The Quaalude Board want you Back Here Next Year , Cut Back a Bit on The Salt , But like i said Enjoy the Salts you use , like a nice Salty Bath , I Rub Salt on the Back of my Neck with a tiny amount of Butter this go's into the Spine and helps the neck bone. it's the Greasy chicken & Fried Foods you should not salt down so much , For Christmas , I Like to glaze a Ham , Yams , Fruit Cake , Green Bean's . Salad , BEER , Try Eating food Digested Enzymes , you need to Dress for the weather because you want to burn the caloric intake off ass you go so you can be nice and slim Like Me . LOL If you can't Drink z BEER for Some Reason . Skip Soda as it's full of Bad Sweeteners , Drink Green Tea , maybe one Soda now and then , and try to keep the Coffee to under Two Cups in the morning . This Year's Summer was Good on some Crops They are Around you can just see a Healthy Vegetable , Look at color , Peppers , Reds and Greens , Yellow , Turns out the* Grups* , thats what i called the Grown Ups were right about those Vegetables being Good for You , Getting out and doing Christmas Shopping is a Good Thing , It's Being able to sneak away to get one for those you stick around thats tricky . i say get any nice card and give money get lot's of Fives saved up for those who you forgot . Just a Reminder to Watch your Salt QC
Most people eat too much salt. This can raise blood pressure, which increases your risk of heart disease and stroke. We can all take steps to eat less salt by shopping wisely and being sparing with salt at home.
