Salt levels in picnic foods dangerously high, health group warns Action on Salt calls for compulsory, front-of-pack, nutritional labelling.
One in four savoury picnic foods contain dangerously high levels of salt and almost half are worryingly high in saturated fat, a health group has warned.
Action on Salt found that a typical picnic basket could contain more than 5g of salt, almost the recommended daily limit for an adult, which is 6g a day. Excessive salt consumption has been blamed for thousands of cases of heart disease, stroke and cancer. The Guardian
