1 and 20 13 years, the World Health Assembly officially took "reducing salt intake by 30% by 2025" as one of the nine voluntary goals of global non-communicable disease prevention and control. By the end of 20 18, nearly half of the countries in the world have launched national salt reduction guidelines or actions, and formulated their own industrial salt reduction guidelines. Most countries have taken a series of measures to reduce the salt content in processed foods, food labels and mass publicity, among which Britain, Finland, Australia and Japan have achieved considerable results.
2.20 16, the former national health and family planning commission launched a nationwide special campaign of "three reductions and three health benefits", that is, reducing salt, oil and sugar, healthy mouth, healthy weight and healthy bones, and further promoting the formation of a healthy lifestyle for the whole people. At the same time, the "Healthy China 2030" planning outline proposes that by 2030, the national average daily salt intake will be reduced by 20%. The National Nutrition Plan (20 17-2030) also proposes that by 2030, the national average daily salt intake will be reduced by 20%.
Practical significance of salt reduction: The nutrition and health of the food industry is the cornerstone of a healthy China, and the whole people should start from the food industry to reduce salt. In addition to the actual contribution of salt/sodium intake, food industry plays an irreplaceable role in nutrition orientation and dietary culture orientation. Whether it is products, labels or advertisements, its influence greatly affects the food culture, behavior and health of the whole people. The proposal of China Food Industry Salt Reduction Guide will play an important role in providing technical and strategic health guidance and increasing people's sense of acquisition and happiness.
