A croissant and latte on the way to work may not always be a healthier option than stopping at a "greasy spoon" cafe, according to a campaign group that aims to reduce salt in diets.
Many foods eaten for breakfast contain high levels of salt. While many consumers recognise there are high salt levels in traditional English fry-ups including bacon, beans and sausages, far fewer realise that sweet pastries on offer at high street coffee chains could also contribute significantly to busting the 6g of salt daily target set for adults by the government's Food Standards Agency (FSA).
