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 Good for You nutrition strategy. To support the WHO global sodium benchmarks, we have set reduction targets for the eight categories below, alongside other leading food manufacturers. We aim to meet the sodium targets for 90% of the sales volume by the end of 2025. Already, we have achieved our sodium reduction objectives in more than half of these product categories.
