Canadian Sodium Working group to recommend voluntary salt reduction

SWG (Sodium working group) has been constituted by Canadian government to recommend ways and means to reduced salt intake of Canadian people . SWG has recommended to go for voluntary reduction by food companies with some visibility and public targets .

Voluntary method is the best method in present circumstances as any mandatory laws would be cumbersome and non effective. Giving example of other countries the Vice Chair Marry L Abbe added that there are no country which has mandatory salt reduction laws. Food habits would take time and food industry would require time to develop , test and take trials for alternative to salt.

It also recommends labels on pack similar to UK Color coding "traffic light" method for salt levels in the food pack . Red , amber and green with red signify the danger level of recommended salt intake and green indicates safe level of salt in the product.

Bakery manufacturer in Canada such as Canada bread and Campbell soup have started working on reduction of salt on to their products .
