Tassal on Tuesday announced that it has launched a salt reduced smoked salmon product, a first for the Australian market.
The Salt Reduced Smoked Salmon comes with 60 percent reduced salt, making it an environmentally responsible and healthy alternative for the growing number of Australians who are mindful of their sodium intake.
Most Australians currently consume about 10 grams of salt daily, a far cry from the daily recommended intake of 1.15 to 2.3 grams. By using a lower sodium salt during the smoking process, Tassal’s salmon slices still retain all the original health benefits that makes salmon nutritious, said the company.
Beginning next month, the slices will be available at Coles and Woolworths stores for AUD 5.99 for a 90-gram portion.
“The salmon slices are all ready to go, making it so easy to use in a pasta sauce, quiches, frittatas, savory muffins, over eggs or quickly into some wraps for the kids’ school lunch,” said Caroline Hounsell, Tassal spokesperson. “The beauty of this product is that we may have reduced the salt, but we haven’t taken away the delicious salmon flavor. We are catering to all salmon lovers, be they salt conscious or otherwise.”
