00:01Analysis from a London-based research team has found sandwiches sold by an upmarket bakery with
00:06over 100 branches in the capital may contain more salt than nearly five McDonald's cheeseburgers.
00:13Campaigners at Action on Salt and Sugar based at Queen Mary University of London
00:17say they analysed hundreds of sandwiches and found some contain more than the recommended
00:21daily limit of 6 grams of salt in a single item. They warn that this could contribute
00:27to serious health risks including high blood pressure and say many consumers may be unaware
00:33of the levels in everyday lunchtime food. The bakery involved, Gales, has been approached
00:39for comment while campaigners call for clearer labelling.
