Dieticians issue salt warning
Tuesday 10th February 2009
A number of food experts from Merseyside have issued a warning over the consumption of salt.
According to reports in the Liverpool Echo, the Greater Mersey Food Standards Group recently conducted a survey of the salt content of chilled and frozen convenience meals.
It discovered that salt levels vary significantly between different supermarket meals.
Researchers involved in the study said that people should always read food labels, including those on cereal, bread and sauce packets, dieticians may be interested to hear.
Jay Wright from the Heart and Chest Hospital claimed that people often forget that there is salt in the ready meals they buy and so go on to add more.
Earlier this month, Rachel Barton, a specialist dietician with the Leicestershire Dietetics and Nutrition Service, warned that children as young as two and three are getting assistance from medical professionals in the UK because they are overweight, the Leicester Mercury reported.
