Health experts are issuing a warning to Australian fast food retailers, after reports find that some meals aimed at children have more than the daily recommended sodium intake in a single portion.
The report, released by the George Institute for Global Health, found nuggets and fries were the major culprits, with a six pack of Hungry Jack’s nuggets shown to contain 108 percent of a 4-8 year old’s daily recommended dietary intake.
Hungry Jack’s has responded with claims parents can ask for no added salt on their children’s meals if they are concerned about sodium intake.
