Government should act to force bakers to reduce excessive salt content for public health, says Action on Salt
Three out of four loaves of sliced bread sold in UK supermarkets contain as much salt in one slice as a bag of ready salted crisps, according to new research.
The findings prompted calls for a clampdown on the large amounts of salt found in one of Britain’s staple foods, because eating too much of it raises the risk of a heart attack or stroke.
