Abstract

Salt is consumed in excess in most countries, with global salt intake averaging at more than double the recommended maximum limit of 5 g per day.

In 2013, all WHO Member States committed to a 30% reduction in average salt intake by 2025. However, as of 2023, none were on track to achieve it.¹
