Campbell's lowering sodium in soup

There's been a lot of news about salt lately. Jacki told us recently that the FDA is very concerned about how much sodium we're eating. And Bev recently wrote about how cutting salt can reduce kids' soft drink consumption. So it's good news that Cambell's Soup recently announced that for the second time in as many years, they're cutting the salt in a dozen of their soups marketed to children. (You know, the ones that feature prominent licensed characters like Dora and Batman?)

The soups will now have 480 mg per 1/2 cup (condensed) serving. According to Mayo Clinic, children ages 4-8 should eat a maximum of 1,200 mg of sodium a day. So while Campbell's is making a step in the right direction, if your child is eating canned soup on a regular basis, you might want to watch their salt intake elsewhere.
