Down on Main Street
Main Street Ingredients has been appointed by Klinge Foods Ltd. as the industrial representative and distributor of its reduced-sodium LoSalt® to food manufacturers in North America. LoSalt is a great-tasting, reduced-sodium salt containing only one third of the sodium in regular table, sea and rock salts. As it is high in natural potassium, it is a far healthier salt, claims Klinge Foods. LoSalt is an innovative and responsible approach to consumer sodium health issues. LoSalt extends Main Street’s commitment to providing healthy ingredients, as more pressure is put on food manufacturers to reduce sodium in their products.
