Consuming less than 5 g/ salt (< 2 g of sodium) per adult per day, from all sources, is the WHO recommended intake and the target that countries are to aim for with their dietary salt/sodium reduction initiatives. But no country is on track to achieve a 30% reduction in salt intake by 2025 and no country has reached the WHO’s recommended intake.
The campaign "Salt Awareness Week" is observed from March 4-10 aims to encourage the implementation of evidence-based interventions to reduce salt consumption in the population. It is unacceptable that populations worldwide are burdened with unnecessary deaths. It is unacceptable that the next generation face a future of preventable health conditions. It is unacceptable that a simple solution has not been actioned by policy makers. Its time for ACTION.
