From WHO to Reduct Salt

16 Oct 2026

Discover how Reduct Salt helps food manufacturers respond to WHO sodium reduction recommendations. With 30–35% less sodium, the same salty taste and direct 1:1 replacement of conventional salt, it offers a practical solution for healthier food production without changing recipes or manufacturing processes.

Reducing sodium consumption has become a global public health priority and an increasingly important challenge for the food industry. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends limiting daily salt intake to less than 5 grams for adults, while average consumption remains significantly higher.

Much of this sodium comes from processed foods, making food manufacturers essential contributors to healthier dietary habits.

Reduct Salt provides an innovative response to this challenge: a food-grade salt alternative designed to reduce sodium content by 30–35% while maintaining the same taste, functionality, and ease of use as traditional salt.

Its formula combines sodium, magnesium, calcium, and potassium to address three fundamental requirements: reducing sodium intake, replacing conventional salt at a 1:1 ratio, and preserving the original taste and preparation methods of food products.

1:1 Salt Replacement Without ReformulationOne of the key advantages of Reduct Salt is its simplicity of use. Food manufacturers can replace conventional salt with exactly the same quantity of Reduct Salt, maintaining existing recipes and production processes.

This direct 1:1 replacement offers several benefits:

• No changes to ingredient quantities or formulations.
  
  
• No modifications to production equipment or procedures.
  
  
• Consistent flavor and sensory characteristics.
  
  
• Easier integration into industrial food manufacturing.
  
  

Same Flavor, Less SodiumSalt plays an essential role in food preparation, contributing to flavor, texture, and preservation. Reducing sodium without affecting these properties is therefore a significant challenge.

Reduct Salt addresses this need through a stabilized formulation containing sodium, magnesium, calcium, and potassium.

The result is a salt alternative that delivers 30–35% less sodium while preserving the familiar salty taste and functional properties of traditional salt.

Supporting WHO Sodium Reduction RecommendationsAccording to the World Health Organization, average adult salt consumption is approximately 10.8 grams daily, more than twice the recommended maximum of 5 grams.

Processed foods contribute substantially to excessive sodium intake, making product reformulation an important opportunity for the food industry.

Reducing sodium consumption can help lower the risk of high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and stroke.

By replacing traditional salt with Reduct Salt, manufacturers can support healthier nutritional profiles without compromising product quality or consumer satisfaction.

Innovation Backed by Food Industry ExperienceReduct Salt is an MVG brand developed through more than 40 years of experience in the food industry.

Research began in 2018, followed by industrial production testing in 2021. In 2023, the stabilized mineral chloride formulation was finalized, with its technical datasheet issued in January 2024.

This development process combined technical expertise, research, and industrial testing to create a practical solution for sodium reduction.

A Practical Step Toward Healthier FoodFor food manufacturers, sodium reduction is becoming increasingly relevant to nutritional strategies, consumer expectations, and regulatory requirements.

Reduct Salt makes sodium reduction simpler: same dosage, same taste, less sodium.
