The out of home pizzas were bought and analysed by London Environmental Health teams.The release aims to highlight that whilst there is so much salt in our food, and no labelling in foods bought out of the home, people are unable to choose a healthier diet and are therefore putting themselves at risk of a stroke. So far we have received great coverage, and have had a great reception to the Week, with over 600 supporting events going on around the UK.Over 26 countries around the world are also supporting World Salt Awareness Week this year. I look forward to hearing of your successes, and sharing them amongst membersKind regards,ClareClare Farrand APHNutrWorld Action on Salt and Health CoordinatorWolfson Institute of Preventive Medicine,Queen , University of London, EC1M 6BQTel: 020 7882 6229 | email: c.e.farrand@...http://www.worldactiononsalt.com/
