Nearly 1 in 4 UK ready-to-eat soups exceed salt limits, with branded versions worst, prompting calls for stronger action.
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.
The average serving contains 1.43g of salt, and 11% deliver over 2g—more than a third of an adult’s daily maximum.
Front-of-pack labels show 16% would receive a red warning for high salt, while only 2% earn a green label.
Critics cite misleading serving sizes and stalled progress on salt reduction, urging stronger government action.
Some brands, including Heinz and Daylesford Organic, say they are reformulating products, with Daylesford acknowledging a packaging error that inflated salt levels.
Casi 1 de cada 4 sopas listas para comer en el Reino Unido exceden los límites de sal, siendo las versiones de marca las peores, lo que provoca llamados a una acción más enérgica.
