what is this concept? According to the "Chinese Resident Dietary Guide 2022", adults take no more than 5 grams of salt per day. Generally, the sodium content in salt is about 40%, which means that adults are advised to consume no more than 2000 mg of sodium daily.

The reporter's investigation found that many prefabricated dishes have a sodium content of about 500 mg per 100 grams of sodium. A prefabricated "Xiangxi Grandma cuisine" sold on a certain e -commerce platform reaches 1250 mg per 100 grams of sodium. A "red roast meat" has a sodium content of 560 mg per 100 grams.

Many prefabricated dishes are between 300 grams and 500 grams. If calculated according to the above "about 500 mg of sodium content per 100 grams", a prefabricated sodium content of 300 grams of 300 grams reaches 1500 mg. Eating a copy is close to the suggestion, let alone eat more.

There are also studies that Chinese consumers have scattered tastes and diversified, but human beings are sweet and sweet, salt -loving, and prefabricated dishes are constantly exploring the taste of Chinese people. In addition Industrialized penetration is still restricted by technology and frozen technology.

Not only these prefabricated dishes contain sodium, but you usually eat fruits, vegetables, and grains.
