Sainsbury's Bramley apple crumbles contain 0.5g sodium per 100g! - That's a high salt content! - Why make a fruit crumble salty? - It's a shame...)o: - Surely they could omit some of the salt? - You don't expect fruit crumbles to be salty.

I hope they will lower the salt content in this product.

On Sainsbury's Salt Reduction page today, it says (complete with their own typos!):

"Our team of suppliers and food experts have been working hard to find ways to reduce the salt in our own label food to meet the Food Standards Agency (FSA) salt targets, (the FSA have set salt target on 85 product categories to be achieved by 2010 - visit the Food standards Agency website for more informatrion.) We're fully committed to acheive these targets and have already achieved or exceeded these in many product area such as soup, baked beans, tomato ketchup, frozen pizza and our standard bread."

Well I can't say they're doing a very good job of reducing salt content if even their apple crumbles have a high salt content! - No person making their own apple crumble would dream of adding a lot of salt to it! I'm afraid that on this evidence, I can't really believe they are "working hard to find ways to reduce the salt in our own label food" as they claim.
