For those watching their salt intake

Kallo have introduced a range of "very low salt" (0.1g) stock cubes. The only supermarket that we have found that stocks them is Sainsburys.

I’ve bought snacks with low salt intake on the packing and found they where just over 1% of 100gs, so still too high salt.

Sadly I think the reason many processed foods have high salt and sugar contents is to make poor quality ingredients palatable! I avoid Chinese food as I get palpitations and nausea from the levels of MSG generally used (was hospitalised a number of times when younger). We had a Chinese restaurant near here that was both MSG and GM free. Excellent food but it did not thrive as most people were not prepared to pay the 20% premium for quality ingredients.

Very low salt intake may be as bad as high levels, international study claims.
