Past Events
Webinar Series: Emerging Science — Leveraging Innovation to Address Technical Challenges of Reducing Sodium in Foods
January 26, 2024
Virtual, Event
Many food manufacturers and food service organizations have made commitments towards sodium reduction in their products and have introduced them into the market. There are many technical obstacles to reducing sodium in food products considering the functional roles of sodium-containing ingredients.
Webinar Series: Effects of Sodium Reduction on Food Safety and Quality
January 25, 2024
Virtual, Event
Today, salt remains essential in many food commodities, such as dairy and ready-to-eat meats, not only as a preservative but also as a flavor enhancer and a means to improve texture. However, the need to reduce sodium consumption has become more critical to public health.

Webinar Series: Lessons Learned — Opportunities and Challenges to Monitoring Sodium in the Food Supply
January 24, 2024
Virtual, Event
Monitoring sodium in the food supply to evaluate progress against voluntary sodium reduction targets is the focus of this webinar.
Webinar Series: Continuous Improvement — What Manufacturers are Doing to Reduce Sodium in Food Products
January 23, 2024
Virtual, Event
Sodium reduction initiatives date back to the 1970s and have impacted many types of products including bread, soups and canned food products, seasoning blends, savory snacks and more. However, as the food supply and consumer behaviors evolve, more work is needed to further reduce sodium.
Webinar Series: What’s New — Sodium Intake and Public Health Today
January 22, 2024
Virtual, Event
This webinar will present recent data on the public health impact of consuming excess sodium, the FDA’s approach to address sodium reduction, and how federal agencies track sodium in the food supply.
