Tests on bread leave bad taste in mouth as three slices have more salt than a bag of crisps

Three-quarters of supermarket bread contains as much or more salt in three slices than a packet of ready salted crisps, a report found.

Campaign group Action on Salt looked at 42 pre-packaged loaves from 28 firms sold at 10 of the UK’s largest stores.

The saltiest of those was Hovis White Since 1886 cob, with 1.48g per 100g of bread, around three slices, compared to 0.34g in a packet of Walkers crisps.
