No added sugar or added salt. Just what's in the refined dried wheat they package. ;)

I shudder when I see Dutch people having sugar/ chocolate /sprinkles sandwiches for breakfast

This is a typical no sh*t Sherlock piece of journalism. The shock horror follow up may suggest that cider contains alcohol. :erm:

either really - least they're more honest about the sodium these days and actually say you multiply it by 2.5 to get the real figure

Re: Named and shamed
 

strictly speaking the salt equivalent of 'sodium x 2.5' only applies to 'real' salt, i.e. sodium chloride.

There are several other potential sources of sodium in food, such as monosodium glutamate, sodium benzoate & sodium saccharin, which don't exactly correlate with the standard conversion factor of 2.5.

For that reason, in my opinion, it is better to compare the actual sodium levels, rather than the 'salt equivalent' when looking at labels. :)
