China has become a major setting for salt-substitution research because salt added during home cooking contributes a large share of total sodium intake.
More information on this topic is available in the Scientific Salt Research section.
Household Salt Use
George Institute sources emphasise that a substantial share of sodium intake in China comes from salt added by consumers during cooking.
This makes household salt replacement a direct intervention point.
SSaSS Findings
The large SSaSS trial in China evaluated lower-sodium, added-potassium salt in place of regular salt.
The study followed clinical outcomes including stroke, cardiovascular events and death.
Scaling
Subsequent work has focused on product availability, market price, acceptability and policy implementation.
The objective is to understand barriers to moving from a study product to the national food supply.
