Sneaky Sodium: Empowering Consumers with Sodium Warnings on Restaurant Meals

Wednesday, May 9, 2018 2:00:00 PM EDT - 3:00:00 PM EDT

The restaurant environment is filled with high sodium foods. Giving consumers information that 

enables them to choose lower-sodium options can help reduce the number of Americans living with 

hypertension and the increased risk of heart disease and stroke they face. Since 2016, the 

New York City Board of Health has required sodium warnings next to menu items containing the 

recommended daily sodium limit (2,300 milligrams). Recently, similar legislation was introduced 

by the Philadelphia City Council. Join us to learn more about the importance of sodium warnings 

and current research about their effectiveness. You’ll also walk away with the tools you need to 

introduce sodium warnings in your community.
