UK government in a recent health initiative has urged food companies to cut down salt content in popular dishes as most of them were found to contain high salt levels.

Research on salt content in dishes of popular food outlets showed that most of the food contained much higher quantity of salt than the daily recommended quantity of 6g.
This voluntary approach has encouraged many companies to sign up for the campaign in bringing down the salt consumption level from the current average of 8.1g per day. The food companies have agreed to reduce the salt content in their food and help people make the right food choices.
