According to WHO (the World Health Organization) an estimated 2.5 million deaths worldwide could be prevented each year if salt consumption were reduced to the recommended intake of 5 g of salt per person per day.
The WHO strategy for noncommunicable diseases aims at reducing salt intake by 30% by 2025. The Swiss Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office (BLV) has also launched its own salt strategies in the aim of reaching this goal.
Saltwell & Salt reduction
Common recommendations for reducing salt include cooking fresh food more often, adding less seasoning or reducing it bit by bit. However, all of these recommendations share the same problem: they all lose that familiar, desired taste.
Saltwell salt from the Salinity Group can help prevent this loss of flavour while lowering the sodium content by a whole 35%.
Unlike ordinary salt, Saltwell salt is a natural compound of potassium chloride and sodium chloride. Table salt is about 99% sodium chloride. Saltwell, by contrast, contains 65% naturally occurring sodium chloride as well as 30% potassium chloride in every dried and crystallized salt grain.
This retains the quality and taste 1:1 while ensuring a balancing supply of potassium.
Ordinary salt compared to Saltwell salt
The extraordinary mixture of sodium and potassium chloride in Saltwell salt originates in the Atacama Desert of Chile. The independent company of the same name, Saltwell, has been an expert in salt production and trade for nearly 190 years.
