Sodium intake and its reduction by food reformulation in the European Union — A review
Open accessAbstract
Background The purpose of this article is to review the current situation with regard to sodium intake in the European Union, provide an update on the efforts being made to reduce the sodium content of food products in various industries via food reformulation and identify the factors motivating food reformulation. Methods A review was conducted of published literature as well as government and nongovernment organization websites and publications. Results Food reformulation efforts have been made in the bread, meat, dairy and convenience foods industries. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommendation of < 5 g/day of dietary salt intake (< 2 g/day sodium) provides an internationally accepted baseline for reformulation efforts. Most Europeans continue to consume salt above the recommended limit. About half of the EU member states have legislated change in the form of taxation, mandatory nutrition labeling and regulated nutrition/health claims. Conclusions These actions have encouraged sodium reductions in existing food products, but food safety, consumer acceptance, cost and complications arising from the use of sodium alternatives remain limitations to food reformulation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
