Excessive salt in food products. Lucerne string cheese latest.

While most consumers look at the fat content of products, they should note that salt content is a big issue. Several food product companies have been masking the issue of taste loss from lower fat items by adding additional salt to these items.

One example is Lucerne 50% less fat string cheese. In this case 1 serving, 1 string cheese stick has 230mg of salt. This is equivalent to 9% of the daily salt requirement. A lot for just 1 cheese stick.

Hopefully, consumers, the FDA, and this article will help pressure the food industry to calm down with using so much salt.
