Nestle
To Cut Salt Across Portfolio
By FBWorld
VEVEY,
SWITZERLAND - Nestle S.A. has committed to reducing salt
across its global portfolio by 2025 to support a World
Health Organization target that people consume no more
than 5 grams of salt per day.
The
initiative includes soups, noodles, recipe mixes, frozen
and refrigerated meals and pizzas from such brands as
Maggi, Stouffer's, DiGiorno and Buitoni.
"We
have made great strides in reducing the salt content of
our food products in recent years, and we want to build
on that progress," said Henri-Pierre Lenoble, manager
of Nutrition, Health and Wellness at Nestlé Food.
"Our goal is to offer consumers products that enable
them to make practical, healthy nutritional choices, every
day."
Nestle
has worked steadily to reduce sodium across its brands,
cutting 14,043 tons of salt from its portfolio since 2005.
Among U.S. brands, Stouffer's macaroni and cheese contains
15% less salt than it did in 2005.
In
addition to using spices and herbs to heighten flavors
while limiting salt, Nestle is researching salt alternatives
in collaboration with Chromocell Corporation, a life sciences
company based New Brunswick, N.J.
