Perhaps feeling a bit bloated, Kraft Foods Inc. announced earlier today that they’re cutting down on the amount of salt used in a number of its most popular products.<\/p>\n

Kraft says it wants to reduce its overall average sodium content by about 10% over the next two years. They figure that amount equates to around 750 million teaspoons of salt.<\/p>\n

Among the Kraft products up for major reductions in sodium is Oscar Mayer Bologna. The company wants to cut the s-o-d-i-u-m from everyone’s favorite meat-like product by 17%.<\/p>\n

Another big target of Kraft’s sodium shrink ray is its Easy Mac Cups product. They say some flavors of the instant mac-and-cheese product will see sodium reductions of 20%.<\/p>\n

“We are reducing sodium because it’s good for consumers, and, if done properly, it’s good for business,” said Rhonda Jordan, President, Health & Wellness, Kraft Foods. “A growing number of consumers are concerned about their sodium intake and we want to help them translate their intentions into actions.”<\/p>\n

She adds that the short-term sodium cuts will impact more than 1,000 separate Kraft products and that the company’s long-term goal is an even greater reduction of its total sodium usage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
