Three million pounds of sodium cut from ConAgra food

ConAgra Foods has said it has removed nearly three million pounds of sodium from a range of products without affecting taste.

The firm said it will continue to look at ways of cutting down salt, and said it has already managed to remove up to 20 per cent from many of its popular lines.

It is working on a proprietary sodium technology that can cut 30 per cent of sodium in popcorn.
