Health Concerns prompt Food Companies Criticizm

Many of the world's top food companies are not doing enough to help cut the salt, fat and sugar which are contributing to a global, diet-related health crisis, according to a report by London's City University. The study focused on 25 companies which are directly involved in food preparation and sales.

The study found that only 10 out of 25 companies had reported any action on trying to reduce salt levels while only five were working to reduce sugar. Four out of 25 were working to reduce fat and only two, Kraft and McDonald's had taken plans to reduce portion sizes.

The study draws the conclusion that the companies which have been publicly critisized tend to work towards providing healthier food. It gives the example of McDonald's efforts to infuse their items with healthier additions.
