Salt is a common food ingredient used for taste and food preservation. There is scientific consensus that eating less salt (sodium) will have public health benefits through lowering blood pressure. Blood pressure is being influenced by salt intake but also by other dietary and lifestyle factors such as alcohol intake, smoking and exercise.

As a major provider of every day foods, it is Unilever's nutrition policy to help our consumers everywhere achieve nutritional balance in terms of both nutrient shortfalls and excesses. To this end we formulate branded products to meet consumer's needs and wants based on the best scientific insights and responsible sourcing.

Effective reduction of salt intake requires the involvement of the food industry, healthcare professionals, governments and consumers. As a global player in the food market Unilever takes an active role in seeking ways to where possible reduce the salt content in their products whilst meeting consumer expectations on taste.

Unilever is committed to providing clear, understandable and relevant information to the consumer about our products.
