With excess salt a major driver of high blood pressure, consumersĀ canātĀ simply āopt outā when so much is added before food is evenĀ purchased.
Responsibility sits with government and the food industry, not individuals alone.

ALT Quote tile: "We welcome the governmentās long-awaited update to the Nutrient Profile Model, which represents a clear improvement on the outdated 2004 model and better reflects current evidence on free sugars. Now's the time to close those loopholes, apply the model consistently, and let the product speak for itself, not the marketing. - Sonia Pombo Head of Research and Impact at Action on Salt & Sugar"

Fantastic news for sugar reduction - an expansion of the Soft Drinks Industry Levy (SDIL) AND a lower sugar threshold! š
The SDIL has already cut vast levels of sugar out of UK diets and todayās news builds crucially on that progress.

ALT The SDIL Expansion - quote from Dr Kawther Hashem: "We know the levy works and when the rules are clear and consistent, manufacturers act fast. Today's welcomed announcement builds on that progress, but if we're truly committed to improving the nation's health, and the nation's teeth, we'll need to be even more ambitious"
