In school - decades ago - one story that came up was how salt cod was sent to the west in the Depression... and was not used because people did not know how to prepare it. Similarly today, salt is supposedly doing bad things to people ( a nasty trick for a necessity of life that at one time was an international trading currency ). But back to the fish : iodine is available in seafood. Inland - nope. Not a dietary item. So since fish was not in the diet,government mandated the addition of Iodine to table salt to prevent goiter. I have the idea that going overboard avoiding salt is not good for you.
EU Salt is not up and running as of this date in that I am getting no RSS response.
( Get your climate scaremongering here as well. Full service, yes sir.)

The European Commission is assessing the effect the lack of nutrient profiles has on European public health and namely on the Health & Nutrition (H&N) Claims Regulation, sending a questionnaire to stakeholders and opening a public consultation on their website for anyone to answer.
Nutrient profiles aim at forbidding food with levels of salt – among others – that are deemed too high for public health from making H&N Claims. The purpose is to avoid misleading information to consumers and abusive practices from businesses. Considering our past Public Affairs efforts, we have reviewed our position. We would like fortified salt and products using fortified salt *– whatever the level - to be exempted from this ban, and thus be able to bear a health and/or nutrition claim.
* Perhaps they could also do random sampling, as quality control was reported as virtually nonexistent. Sorry - no citation. Straight from my forgettery.

The European Parliament 's Environment Committee has rejected the objection to the Commission's draft list of sectors at risk of carbon leakage for the period 2015-2019.
As a result, the list of carbon leakage sectors for 2015-2019 will be officially adopted in the coming weeks, since Member States already approved it last July.
