Sodium
Salt is made up of sodium and chloride. When nutrition information is provided, the law requires that sodium rather than salt must be stated on the label. To work out the equivalent amount of salt, multiply the sodium value by 2.5 (eg 1.2g sodium is equivalent to 3.0g salt).

Government advice is that consumers should reduce their sodium intake as a precaution and have set a target average salt intake of 6g a day for adults. Maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle are important for keeping blood pressure in check.
