Consensus Action on Salt and Health

Action on Salt, formerly known as Consensus Action on Salt and Health (CASH), is a prominent UK-based advocacy group focused on reducing salt consumption to improve global public health. Established in 1996, the organization consists of medical specialists who campaign to lower salt levels in processed foods and raise awareness about the health risks of high sodium intake. They work closely with the food industry and government bodies to implement salt reduction targets and policy changes. Their research and public campaigns, such as Salt Awareness Week, highlight the direct links between salt and conditions like hypertension and cardiovascular disease.
