Bakers unwrap plan to cut salt levels in bread
November 24th, 2005
LEVELS of salt in bread could be cut by 5 per cent over the next two years, under proposals from the Federation of Bakers.
It wants to set a maximum salt “ceiling” above which products would not be made. It also wants labels on bread packaging to list salt content per slice and per 100g.
The federation has submitted its proposals to the Food Standards Agency, which has launched a fresh drive to publicise its message that 6g of salt a day should be the maximum.
The bakers’ group, whose members supply some 80 per cent of UK bread, said salt levels had already been cut by about a quarter in the past 20 years.
