Food and Drink Federation presentation on technological and ingredient solutions for reducing salt
Salt reduction in food continues to be a priority for food manufacturers. However, following years of gradual reductions in salt levels, the industry is now reaching the limits of what can be done. For some foods it will be very difficult to achieve further reductions with the techniques currently available. This means that new solutions are vital in order for companies to meet some of the Responsibility Deal 2012 salt reduction targets.
This webinar will present the findings from independent research by Leatherhead Food Research, commissioned by the Food and Drink Federation and the British Retail Consortium, which aimed to help companies identify possible solutions to this problem. The research was published in July and showed that a number of potential future methods do exist to reduce the salt content of foods.
The webinar will also describe some of the key techniques currently available for reducing salt in products. These approaches have been used successfully by some of the UK’s best-loved brands and supermarkets and will be helpful to those companies that have recently decided to reduce salt in their products.
Register now if your company is starting out on, or reaching the limits of, a salt reduction programme and is keen to learn about the possible solutions for salt reduction both now and in the future.
