The southern Indian state of Karnataka has unveiled a multisectoral action plan aimed at reducing population-level salt consumption by 30% by 2030, in line with India's commitment to a global health target. The plan targets salt use across three areas — households, out-of-home eating, and processed and packaged foods — and includes measures to encourage manufacturers to lower sodium content, promote dietary awareness, and strengthen counselling through the public health system. The initiative also seeks to align with the World Health Organisation's recommendation of fewer than five grams of salt per person per day, as part of broader efforts to curb non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular illness.
