Keeping your salt intake under control can be tricky. Of course, you can see how much you sprinkle on yourself, but a lot of packaged and processed foods, including bread, baked foods like biscuits, breakfast cereals, cheese and processed meats can have higher levels of salt than you might imagine. Sticking to the recommendationsAustralian Dietary Guidelines recommend that the average healthy adult sticks to no more than six grams of salt a day.
To achieve that, it’s recommended you eat as much fresh food as you can and limit processed foods. Where you opt for packaged food, try to select options with a lower salt content. You can find this on the Nutritional Informational Panel. A food with less than 120mg of sodium (a constituent of salt) per 100 grams of food is considered a low salt food, while foods with more than 500mg of sodium per 100 grams are high salt foods. You can also look for logos like the Heart Foundation Tick to help you select healthier options.
