The aims of World Salt Awareness Day include:

• To reduce the amount of salt consumed by children
• To publicise that children should eat even less salt than adults
• To convey the large amounts children could be consuming just through eating everyday foods. For example, it is estimated than children consume ~50% above the UK target
• To highlight where the salt comes from in children's diets
• To provide practical information to parents and carers on how to reduce the level of salt their children eat
