H.J. Heinz Co. is reducing the salt in its ketchup by 15 percent, the first significant change in Heinz’s famous ketchup recipe in almost four decades.
Company spokeswoman Jessica Jackson told The Associated Press:
As more Americans become overweight or obese, increasing attention is being focused on eating too much salt, which can weaken the walls of arteries, leading to high blood pressure and heart disease. While we need some salt, nearly all Americans eat more salt than they need.
