The Kuwait authorities, working with the country’s main bakery, have taken bold action to reduce salt content in the most popular type of bread. “This is a great example of commitment and collaboration between related sectors and an even greater example of partnership,” says Dr. Nawal Al-hamad, chair of Kuwait’s Salt and Fat Intake Reduction Task Force (SIRTF), and Director of the Food and Nutrition Administration at the country’s Ministry of Health.
