Nortura said it was “actively working to reduce salt content” across its sausage products and toppings and had reduced the content by 30%.
“We will over time reduce the content of salt in own products further and as much as possible, while taste and consistency is maintained. We believe in a gradual decrease, so that most are familiar with the products [tasting] less salty,” said president of Nortura, Arne Kristian Kolberg.
