Abstract：Salt is an indispensible seasoning in people's daily lives, but excessive consumption of salt can cause high blood pressure, cardiovascular and other diseases. This article describes relevant standards for low-sodium foods, summarizes daily dietary salt intakes in different countries around the world and the current status of commercialization of low-sodium food products, and reviews the recent literature about blood pressure reduction, with the aim of providing references for further research on low-sodium food products such as low-sodium-salt meat products.
