Sodium Reduction in Communities

Program Information

Popular name

N/A

Program Number

93.082

Program objective

The purpose of this program is to reduce Americans’ sodium intake to limits recommended by the Dietary Guidelines. Because the majority of sodium that people consume is already present in foods before purchase or preparation, reducing sodium intake may require increased availability and accessibility of lower sodium items. Efforts to reduce sodium in the food supply are occurring at a national level; however movement is also needed at the community level to affect change. Because community-wide efforts to reduce sodium intake are relatively new, more practice-based evidence would support identification and refinement of effective strategies. Therefore, this program will aim to implement and evaluate population-based strategies to increase access to lower sodium food in communities, and decrease sodium intake.
