Reduct Salt’s Revolutionary Blend: Same Flavor, Healthier Food

Common refined salt, obtained through a process that eliminates most other salts, is primarily composed of sodium chloride (98%). While traces of other minerals like iron, potassium, and magnesium may remain, their nutritional relevance is minimal.

One hundred grams of salt have zero calories. They contain 0.20 g of water, 12 mg of calcium, 0.5 mg of magnesium, 0.5 mg of potassium, and 38,758 mg of sodium.

Salt + Nutrition = Sodium Excess

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that adults do not exceed 5 grams of salt per day, which corresponds to 2 grams of sodium. Infants and children need even smaller quantities, with less than 1 gram of salt per day for children under one year of age.

One gram of table salt corresponds to 0.4 grams of sodium.

The problem is that the average Italian consumes at least 10 grams of salt per day. This is also because, in addition to the table salt we add to dishes, many foods naturally contain it.

Reducing added sodium intake is therefore fundamental for consumer health and well-being.

Unique Recipe: Healthy Diet Without Sacrificing Flavor

Reduct Salt represents a significant innovation in the food sector. It’s a blend of salts that reduces sodium content by 30-35% while simultaneously adding a greater amount of magnesium, an essential mineral often lacking in modern diets, to traditional blends.

The formula maintains the taste and preservative properties of common salt, but makes it a healthier alternative, ideal for those who want to reduce their sodium intake without sacrificing flavor.

Between Technology and Tradition

The journey that led to the creation of Reduct Salt is rooted in the decennial experience of MVG, a company with over 40 years of experience in the trade and production of salts. Since 1980, MVG has developed a wide range of solutions in the food, livestock, agricultural, and industrial sectors. In 2018, MVG began researching an innovative solution to respond to new dietary habits, culminating in 2021 with the production of Reduct Salt.

Designed to integrate seamlessly into existing food industry production processes, it replaces traditional salt in a 1:1 ratio. This means that recipes and production processes remain unchanged, maintaining the same flavor and organoleptic properties of the foods.

Furthermore, Reduct Salt improves product shelf life, enhances texture both on the palate and when cut, and reduces the need for polyphosphates.

A Commitment to Environmental Sustainability

In addition to promoting health, Reduct Salt contributes to environmental sustainability. MVG uses eco-sustainable packaging, pallets made from recycled materials, and consumes energy from renewable sources. This commitment to sustainability is also reflected in the 10-20% reduction of chlorides in processing waste.
