"We know that some companies are doing better than others — all of the Subway kids' meals meet the UK targets — but clearly more needs to be done to reduce the salt content across the board."Establishing salt targets for children's meals.Increasing consumer awareness campaigns to inform about the health benefits of reducing salt intake specifically for children.Making the healthier option the default option.
