Q. Which organization has recently released the 2nd edition of its global sodium benchmarks for different food categories?
Answer:
World Health Organization (WHO)
Notes: The World Health Organization (WHO) has launched its 2nd edition of global sodium benchmarks for various food categories, as part of its effort to curb sodium intake and combat chronic health issues like high blood pressure and obesity. These benchmarks serve as reference values to gauge progress in reducing sodium consumption. WHO advises adults to consume less than 2000 mg/day of sodium (equivalent to less than 5 g/day salt) for better health outcomes.
