Join us this Salt Awareness Week as we highlight 6 ways to 6 grams! 

In the UK, we are currently consuming, on average, 8.4g of salt a day, 2g more than the recommended daily salt limit, which is raising our blood pressure and increasing our risk of heart attacks and stroke.  

Much of the salt we eat is already in the foods we buy, but there are a number of things we can all be doing to help reduce our salt intakes, for better health. This Salt Awareness Week lets remind ourselves of our maximum salt limit and share 6 (or more!) ways to achieve this. 

If you would like to be involved this year, whether you are a food business, a health group, a community organisation, a politician, or a school, we would love to hear from you!
