Sodium: From WHO to Reduct Salt

Reducing salt consumption in the food industry is a health choice and a consumer demand. The often-hidden amount of sodium in industrially produced foods has also started to see the first legal limits imposed, inspired by the WHO’s intentions to intervene on the ingredient.

Reduct Salt is a food salt recipe that offers the same savoriness as traditional salt with a sodium reduction of over 30%. It’s a blend of food salts studied, tested, and marketed to meet three key requirements:

Reduce sodium consumption.
Replace traditional salt in recipes at a 1:1 ratio.
Replace traditional salt without affecting taste or preparation.

1:1 Ratio

Reduct Salt offers simplicity of use because your recipe remains unchanged. Regardless of how much salt was present in your preparations, Reduct Salt replaces it with the same dosage and maintains the same balance of taste with other ingredients.

There are several advantages to being able to replace every gram of traditional salt with a gram of Reduct Salt:

Your recipe’s procedure and taste remain unchanged.
The production process is not modified.

Same Flavor

Salt is an ingredient used everywhere in the world and in countless preparations; it’s found in every home, and the food industry is keen on it. Salt creates a taste dependency that’s hard to give up and helps preserve food.

Reducing sodium means intervening on salt. This challenge requires a substitute that is easy to find and apply.

Reduct Salt is a food salt recipe composed of sodium (in a quantity 30-35% lower than traditional salt), magnesium, calcium, and potassium. It’s a balanced blend of four micronutrients with the identical taste capacity of traditional salt, but healthier and with intact food preservation capabilities.

Less Sodium

The daily salt consumption of the adult population averages 10.8 grams. According to the World Health Organization, this figure should be less than 5 grams per day. Hence the call for a 30% reduction in salt consumption by 2025, which has led several nations to impose legal limits on industrial consumption: 70% of excess sodium comes from the consumption of processed products.

Reducing sodium is a health choice, a consumer demand, and it’s becoming a legal obligation.

Reduct Salt reduces sodium presence by 30-35%, guaranteeing the same taste as traditional salt, at a 1:1 replacement ratio.

REDUCT SALT is an MVG brand, building on over 40 years of experience in the food industry for salt supply. This global market and production experience led to the initiation of research in 2018 for a solution capable of excellently responding to new dietary habits and directives. In 2021, tests for industrial production began, and in 2023, the exact recipe for Reduct Salt was finalized—a stabilized blend of chlorides, including calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium—with a technical data sheet issued in January 2024, leading to its market release.
