This Web Forum examines how state and local public health practitioners can work with commercial and non-commercial food service operators to identify high sodium menu items and begin to change purchasing practices through label reading and buying standards. It looks at how changing from processed to more fresh foods can reduce sodium on menus, and covers how to successfully lower-sodium items without compromising customer satisfaction or profitability.
