According to the NHS website, adults should eat no more than 6g of salt a day (2.4g sodium) – which is around one teaspoon.
The website adds that a diet high in salt (or sodium) can cause health issues such as raised blood pressure, which can increase your risk of heart disease and stroke.
It also suggests people should check the salt content in pre-packed everyday foods they buy, and choose lower-salt options.
