食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)美國食品藥品管理局(FDA)消息,6月1日美國FDA就自愿性減鈉行業(yè)指南草案開始公開征求意見。該草案的短期目標(biāo)(2年)為鈉攝入量減少至每天3000毫克,長期目標(biāo)(10年)為鈉攝入量每天減少至2300毫克。減鈉目標(biāo)涉及約150類食品,需要食品生產(chǎn)商、餐館、食品服務(wù)機(jī)構(gòu)共同努力達(dá)成目標(biāo)。
美國FDA表示,美國人攝取的鈉比大多數(shù)專家推薦的量要高出近50%。三分之一的美國人有高血壓,高血壓這被認(rèn)為與攝取高鈉食品相關(guān)聯(lián),也是心臟病與中風(fēng)的主要風(fēng)險(xiǎn)因素。膳食中主要的鈉來自加工與預(yù)制食品。
本次征求意見截止8月31日。
部分原文報(bào)道如下:
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today issued draft guidance for public comment that provides voluntary sodium reduction targets for the food industry. The draft short-term (2-year) targets seek to decrease sodium intake to about 3,000 mg per day. The long-term (10-year) targets seek to reduce sodium intake to 2,300 milligrams per day. The targets, which cover nearly 150 food categories, are intended to complement many existing efforts by food manufacturers, restaurants and food service operations to reduce sodium in foods.
Americans consume almost 50 percent more sodium than what most experts recommend. One in three individuals has high blood pressure, which has been linked to diets high in sodium and is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke. The majority of sodium intake comes from processed and prepared foods.
