Countries that set an ambitious sodium reduction goal can create a healthier food environment, lower healthcare costs, and support longer, healthier lives.
SHAKE the salt habit – second edition, developed by World Health Organization with support from Resolve to Save Lives, combines data and research collected over the last ten years into practical tools countries can use to design, implement, and monitor a comprehensive sodium reduction program. It includes step-by-step guidance, country case studies, and new guidance on conflict-of-interest safeguards and addressing industry interference.
With this updated tool, countries can confidently and effectively progress toward the global goal of reducing excess salt intake by 30% by 2030.
