like salt in your cheese?

[Guest guest]

In case you are interested, the FDA is accepting public comment for 1 more week

on mandating draconian salt reduction in foods (think cheese, butter, fermented

foods, all foods). Salt is essential for health. Of course, Food Inc is

pushing for the mandate because there's a profitable new chemical substitute in

the pipeline called Senomyx that fools the body into tasting salt without

delivering real minerals.

Here's the comment form:

This is the only thing I can find that talks about what it actually is:

http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=FDA-2011-N-0400-0038

That gives the impression that it's just about education programs. I

don't see anything about mandating salt reduction. Can you provide a

link to where a mandate is discussed?

WAPF sent an alert indicating that the FDA is laying the groundwork for

extensive restrictions on salt. Given the fact that Morton Satin from the Salt

Institute gave a talk at the last WAPF conference on his efforts involving the

FDA, I think that they have the inside track on how extensive these coming

restrictions will be.

You could explore and learn more here:

By the way, I recommend getting the recording of Morton's fascinating talk (I

love the fact that his name is Morton!).

I guess I'm not surprised it's hard to find the full extent of their intentions

online. Please post if you find anything further.
