Since then, Coles has been working in partnership with its suppliers to work towards their commitment, ensuring product safety, quality, value and taste are not compromised by the salt reductions.

Notes de l'éditeur
- The UK FSA salt levels were developed through an on-going consultation with relevant players in the food industry and independent food technologists. They were established with a view to achieving an average population intake of 6grams based on what was deemed feasible both in terms of the technical aspects of foods and consumer acceptability. There are now 80 targets (revised in 2009) which the food industry has agreed to try and reach by 2012. The existence of such targets guides food companies and puts them on a level playing field in terms of what they are required to achieve. It also provides a clear benchmark from which to monitor progress in relation to the different product categories.
- Just a visual representation of companies with some kind of salt reduction commitment/action
- 18 companies with some kind of salt reduction commitment 9 with action plans 22 provided sodium information * Indicates incomplete sodium information provided
- Smith’s Snackfood Company have signed up to AWASH’s commitment of 25% salt reduction in their products over a 5 year period. This shows an example of reductions they have achieved in the first 2 years of the program It’s important to note that Smith’s do not publicise these reductions – the aim is not to increase sales or profit, but for the public health benefit.
- Next step was to categorise foods further into appropriate sub-categories – a number of models were used as a guide for this; generally speaking FSANZ categories used for food labelling were used as a starting point and were further sub-categorised based on the UK FSA target categories, as well as the Retail World Grocery Guide categories.
- Data was collected in three ways; the top-selling brand/companies initially identified were contacted directly by the authors and asked to provide sodium information for each of their products available for purchase in Australian supermarkets. Where such data was unavailable, three research assistants collected sodium information directly from each product’s Nutrition Information Panel from one of two major Australian supermarkets (Coles Broadway and Woolworths Town Hall). Data collection was from November to December in 2008. Collected data included the brand, product title, serving size, sodium per serve and sodium per 100g. All entered data were re-checked for accuracy against the original data recording sheets, and any discrepancies were checked with the product manufacturer.
- Market share data from the Retail World’s Australasian Grocery Guide was used to ensure we included products representing a large proportion of market share. For example, in the bread category, we made sure to collect sodium data for all available products under the brands listed above to ensure the data we collected was representative of what consumers are actually purchasing.
- Updated 2009 analysis shows that 43% of bacon products now meet FSA targets, still 5% sliced meat and 3% sausages/hotdogs. Also zero salami products, 5% of frozen meat products, 30% of meat burgers and 14% of canned meat products
- Here we showed not only the high levels of salt in foods commonly eaten at a BBQ, but also the wide variation in salt levels, indicating there is room for further reductions. For example, per 100g BBQ sauce contained between 1.4g and 2.9g of salt, sausages between 1g and 3.3g of salt etc etc
- As part of Salt Awareness Week 2009 AWASH hosted the Salt and the City event. To coincide with this we issued a media release on salt levels in fast food meals. Media coverage included over 100 press clippings, television coverage on channels 7, 9 and 10 As a result of the negative press, Oporto contacted AWASH and has since submitted a company action plan to reduce salt in many of their sauces
