Low Salt Diet
Go Shopping for items labelled Low Salt
Salt in our food can raise our blood pressure and aggravate heart disease or strokes. In our Western diet where processed foods feature so highly we eat far too much salt without even realising it. So if you want to begin to care for your heart by limiting your salt intake it can be difficult to know where to start.
Low Sodium Diet
A low salt or low sodium diet should, according to the Food standards Agency be limited to 6 grams of salt a day - around a single teaspoon. That may sound like quite a lot, but the average person eats between 8-11 grams a day.
Labelling for low salt
We will only flag a product as low salt if the manufacturer has labelled it low salt. As this can be inconsistent and manufacturers may be talking comparatively please always check out the nutritional information for the actual salt used.
Remember that once you have selected LOW SALT to narrow your search you will no longer see any other products other than those marked. This may not be a problem, but just to remind you that we only mark relevant products and so for example rice, fruit & veg or tea and coffee etc. may not be visible even though they are not a restricted product.
