“With almost 50% of consumers reading food labels for sodium content, we’re responding to their interest in lowering their daily intake by offering reduced sodium Sargento cheeses,” said marketing director Chris Groom.

“However, we only wanted to launch the line if we could still provide the great tasting natural cheese that consumers love, which this line does successfully.”

Available in slices, shreds and snacks, the cheeses will be available nationwide from this month.
