USE YOUR LOAF ABOUT SALT

If you’re watching your salt intake, you may be surprised to know that added salt in bread can be double the amount found in a packet of crisps. A study from The George Institute for Global Health looked at 1439 bread products and found some, such as rye, contained more than a third of the daily recommended salt intake of 5g in just one slice. “These breads are a good source of fibre, so our advice is to look for high fibre breads that are also low in salt,” says the lead author Clare Farrand.
