Why YSK: consuming too much sodium can lead to high blood pressure, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke. In my country (USA), the average daily sodium intake is over 3,300mg, exceeding the recommended maximum of 2,300mg. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends an even lower maximum of 2,000mg.

Also: with the rising cost of food, being mindful of additives that increase sell weight is important.

    I honestly don't remember but the last time someone brought it up, the regulation sounded reasonable to me. I don't buy whole chickens, ever, so it hasn't come up in my life again since then. Not exactly satisfying, sorry 😐
