Lunches from big chains have same amount of salt as 10 packets of crisps O.o

Sandwiches sold by leading High Street food chains contain as much salt as ten bags of crisps, health campaigners have warned.

A Peking duck wrap from EAT was found to contain 4.8g of salt, while a Swedish meatball hot wrap from Pret a Manger contained 4.6g of salt.
In contrast, a 32.5g bag of Walkers Ready Salted crisps contained less than 0.5g of salt.

Research by health campaigners found high salt levels – more than a third of the recommended daily intake – in over half of 664 tested dishes, with many restaurants as guilty as popular sandwich chains.
