04 Oct 2017 --- A number of UK pesto sauces contain “shockingly” high amounts of salt, with some pestos even containing higher levels now than when last surveyed in 2009. This is according to a survey conducted by Consensus Action on Salt and Health (CASH), using the FoodSwitch UK app. The advocacy group is calling on Public Health England (PHE) to “act tough on the food industry” following concerns that certain food manufacturers are failing to meet the UK 2017 Salt Reduction Targets.
