Stealthy reduction
Methodical approaches to reducing sodium in dairy products.

ost people in the US consume too much sodium,
with the majority coming from processed,
packaged and prepared foods. This includes dairy
products, with cheese, cheese ingredients, and dips and
spreads being the largest contributors. Formulators should
explore all ingredients that contribute sodium, and make
cuts and swaps where possible.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Washington,
has provided food manufacturers with guidance for sodium
reduction. While the guidance is voluntary, taking action is
the right thing to do, especially if one is a supplier for foods
intended for school meals.
The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently
released a final rule to update meal patterns for the National
School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program to
34 MAY-JUN 2024 | DAIRYPROCESSING.COM
align school meal nutrition standards with the goals of the
Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2020-2025. This rulemaking
is effective July 1, 2024; however, program operators are not
required to make any changes to their menus as a result of
this rulemaking until school year 2025-26, at the earliest.
The updated standards provide schools with time to
gradually reduce sodium in school meals by instituting one
achievable sodium reduction. These limits apply to the
average amount of sodium in lunch and breakfast menus
offered during a school week. For the next three school years,
schools will maintain current sodium limits. Beginning July 1,
2027, schools will implement an approximate 15% reduction
for lunch and 10% reduction for breakfast from current
sodium limits.
