The Consensus Action on Salt and Health (CASH) has published new research this week to mark Salt Awareness Week 2008, which highlights the health risks posed to British children because parents are confused over salt content.
"Many parents know that their children should ear less salt than adults" said Jo Butten, CASH nutritionist.
"But they are still confused by labelling that does not clearly state the salt content for a realistic portion and they do not expect sweet foods such as cakes, muffins, puddings and breakfast cereals to contain high levels of salt."
