How are you reducing sodium in your products?

Sodium has many vital functions in our bodies. But eating too much sodium can lead to high blood pressure and heart disease, so health authorities recommend limiting daily sodium intake.

We want to help people reduce the quantity of sodium they consume. This is why, since 2005, we have been working to gradually reduce the amount of sodium used across our global portfolio.

We are continuing our commitment to reduce sodium in key categories of our portfolio as part of our Nutrition, Health and Wellness strategy. To support the WHO global sodium benchmarks, we have set reduction targets for the eight categories below, alongside other leading food manufacturers. By the end of 2025, we met our objectives for seven-out-of-eight priority categories, ensuring that at least 90% of sales volume in these categories meets the defined sodium targets.
