Title
IFBA global sodium reduction commitment
Description
The IFBA has developed a common set of global targets that set maximum salt content levels in 40 sub-categories of packaged food products for 2025 and 2030. Each IFBA member company will individually commit to the sodium reduction targets across key categories that collectively comprise at least 75% of the total sales volume of the company’s relevant product portfolio. Within each committed category, 90% of the aggregated sales volume of the member’s products will comply with the set category targets by 2025. For the 2030 targets, the aggregate compliance threshold will be 75% to account for the market dynamics associated with a longer timeline. The 2030 targets will be re-evaluated in 2025.
