Some foods contain less salt in 2014 compared with 2011. According to research by RIVM the salt content of bread was 21 percent lower in 2011. With current consumption patterns in the Netherlands, lower salt in bread probably leads to lower daily salt intake, as bread is a major contributor. In other foods such as soups and meat, the salt content remained unchanged. No major differences were observed for saturated fat and sugar between food compositions in 2014 compared with 2011 and 2013.
