Kerry advances sustainable nutrition with the future of sodium reduction: Tastesense™ Salt
Kerry announced a groundbreaking development in its vision to create a world of sustainable nutrition – Tastesense™ Salt. Kerry’s Tastesense™ Salt solutions deliver on salt and rich savory taste, without adding sodium, by retaining essential flavor properties and replicating salty impact, body, and linger.
According to a World Health Organization report on sodium levels, savory snacks are ranked within the top five food categories being targeted by World Health Organization members[1] for salt reduction. While the global WHO benchmark for snacks is 500mg per 100 grams in potato-based chips, with pretzels higher in sodium at 720mg per 100 grams, many markets exceed those levels. With such high sodium levels found in savory snacks globally, the challenge persists in achieving much greater sodium reductions, levels of 40% or more, without losing the salty flavor of the snack.
