flag Nearly 1 in 4 UK ready-to-eat soups exceed salt limits, with branded versions worst, prompting calls for stronger action.

flag A study finds that nearly one in four ready-to-eat soups in UK supermarkets exceed the government’s voluntary salt limit of 0.59g per 100g, with branded products far more likely to surpass the target than supermarket own-labels. flag The average serving contains 1.43g of salt, and 11% deliver over 2g—more than a third of an adult’s daily maximum. flag Front-of-pack labels show 16% would receive a red warning for high salt, while only 2% earn a green label. flag Critics cite misleading serving sizes and stalled progress on salt reduction, urging stronger government action. flag Some brands, including Heinz and Daylesford Organic, say they are reformulating products, with Daylesford acknowledging a packaging error that inflated salt levels.
