UK Sandwiches Packed With Salt, Study Finds
People buying lunch on the go could eat more than an adult’s salt limit in one meal. Action on Salt & Sugar examined 546 sandwiches, wraps and baguettes from supermarkets and chains, naming Gail’s smoked chicken caesar club the saltiest option. Researchers said the sandwich contained 6.88g of salt, equal to five McDonald’s cheeseburgers and above the recommended 6g daily amount for adults.
