According to a recent study by Action on Salt and Sugar (AoSS), 23% of soups on sale in UK supermarkets contain more than the recommended amount of salt. When browsing the aisles for tomato soup, long voted the nation’s favourite, you’ll find an array of options, from big-name brands to supermarket own-brands. Katie Sanders, a dietitian and nutritionist verified on healthcare review platform Doctify, tells Metro: ‘In the context of a healthy balanced diet, tomato soup can be a convenient and reasonable choice. However, it was let down by its 0.6g per 100g salt content, one of the highest across the ranking. If you’re looking to reduce your salt or sugar intake however, these little switches are a welcome start.
