Sodium ruling

November 30, 2012

A ROUNDTABLE meeting involving members of the Health Department, health experts and representatives from manufacturers Smith’s Snackfood Company and Snack Brands Australia, along with major retailers Woolworths, Coles and ALDI, has resulted in proposed sodium reformulation targets. As such, companies have agreed to the following sodium reduction targets: an average target of 550mg/100g and a maximum target of 800mg/100g across ‘potato chips’ products; an average target of 950mg/100g and a maximum target of 1250mg/100g across ‘extruded snacks’ products; an average target of 550mg/100g and a target of 700mg/100g across ‘cereal based snacks’ products; and an average target of 850mg/100g and a maximum target of 1100mg/ 100g across ‘salt and vinegar’ products. The timeframe for action will be three years from December 2012 to December 2015.
