FDA releases new salt guidance aimed at reducing levels
Fox News
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Wednesday issued final guidance to the food industry for voluntarily reducing sodium in processed, packaged and prepared foods.
"Although the average intake would still be above the Dietary Guidelines for Americans’ recommended limit of 2,300 mg per day for those 14 and older, we know that even these modest reductions made slowly over the next few years will substantially decrease diet-related diseases," the agency said in a news release.
The guidance is aimed at reducing sodium levels in 163 subcategories of foods.
