Brief description Australians eat far more salt than is good for their health and the need to reduce salt is well recognized. This project brings together government, industry and scientists in a new, nationwide initiative to reduce the amount of salt eaten by Australians. The project will measure levels of salt in the diet, identify the main foods it comes from and put in place a comprehensive plan to reduce it. Effectiveness will be closely monitored through repeat surveys done over five years
