The IAFNS Sodium in Food & Health Implications (SoFHI) committee supports collaboration among academic, industry, and government scientists and focuses on the development and communication of sodium research on foods, food patterns and health implications across demographics.
The Committee has four primary areas of focus:
• Facilitate stakeholder dialogue on topics related to intake of sodium in the context of the total diet;
• Support applied clinical or epidemiological research to improve the understanding of sodium in foods and the relationship to estimates of intake;
• Understand different facets of sodium reduction in foods;
• Provide subject matter expertise to NGOs, federal agencies, and other public health stakeholders on sodium as relevant to food composition, food safety, and food quality.

Potassium Chloride-Based Replacers: Modeling Effects on Sodium and Potassium Intakes of the US population with Cross-Sectional Data from NHANES 2015–2016 and 2009–2010
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2021
Public sodium intake in the USA exceeds the recommendations of the Food and Drug Administration. The replacement of added sodium chloride (NaCl) with potassium chloride (KCl) provides a potential strategy to reduce sodium intake while remaining within the KCl range recommended for health.
