#Salt content in takeaway dishes can be surprisingly high! @NHSChoices have some top tips on making healthier choices.
If you provide takeaway in #Cambridgeshire why not consider reducing salt content for your customers, DM for info #SaltAwarenessWeek #Healthier #6ways6grams https://t.co/RxWTPrKR5G

[NHS @NHSuk]

Some takeaway dishes have half an adult's recommended daily allowance in just one dish. Make the right menu choices and it can be a lot healthier: https://t.co/waKqb48cTO #SaltAwarenessWeek

[Healthier Options @Healthier_Cambs]

Get creative in the kitchen with herbs & spices to flavour foods instead of salt, & add this to your Healthier Options pledge.
Many of our members have tried & tested this in their own pledges, with some removing salt from the table too! #6ways6grams @actiononsalt #salt #salty https://t.co/yOsUdeIVEH

[Action on Salt @actiononsalt]

Make mealtimes healthier by taking salt and salty sauces off the table and replace with pepper, garlic, herbs and spices to flavour your food instead #6ways6grams #SaltAwarenessWeek

[Healthier Options @Healthier_Cambs]

Reduce salt intake with the free @FoodSwitchUK app. Scan food packaging barcodes & understand if products are high, medium or low in #salt #sugar & #fat
Food outlets swapping to healthier products can include in a Healthier Options pledge too! @actiononsalt #SaltAwarenessWeek https://t.co/eftwFPyCZs

[FoodSwitch UK @FoodSwitchUK]

If a food has more than 1.5g salt per 100g it is HIGH in salt. Our app applies colour coding to help you see whether a food is high (red), medium (amber) or low (green) in salt. The SaltSwitch filter shows you a list of similar foods lower in salt #SaltAwarenessWeek

[Healthier Options @Healthier_Cambs]

¼ salt is added when cooking & at the table!
Gradually reduce the amount of salt you add when cooking e.g. to veg,
potatoes, rice & noodles. Add other flavours instead. Part of HealthierOptions pledge too! @actiononsalt #6ways6grams #swaps #SaltAwarenessWeek #GetInvolved #pledge

Does toast feature somewhere on your menu? Swapping the default to be wholemeal bread, with an option of white, could be 1 of your 10 Healthier Options pledges. Poached egg on toast is our fav! #NationalToastDay #wholemeal #bread #fibre #healthy #HOAward #smallchange #makeapledge
