Handful of companies could prevent around 300 deaths a year by cutting salt in these products

New research suggests around 300 deaths a year could be avoided if just five Aussie food manufacturers cut salt in packaged foods such as processed meat, bread, chicken nuggets and sausages down to government target levels. Of these five companies the top three were major supermarkets—by reformulating their home brand products in these categories to meet the government's new voluntary sodium targets, they could together make up around half of all deaths averted.
