Adriana Hern\u00e1ndez-Santana, profesora asociada del Departamento de Agroindustria de Universidad Zamorano, y la Lic. Roc\u00edo Moncada, con apoyo del <em>Institute for Technology in Health Care<\/em> (ITHC), studied the sodium in salty snacks (chips and seeds) sold in Honduran supermarkets. They used the nutrition labels to check how well these products meet international sodium intake recommendations.<\/p><p>Half of the products had too much sodium. Chips had the highest levels, far above seeds. Only a small share of products qualified as low-sodium. The study also found that no product said \"low sodium\" or anything similar on its label, even though some met the criteria to do so.<\/p><p>These findings show that Honduras needs stronger regulation and monitoring of sodium in processed foods. They also support moving toward front-of-package warning labels, like those already used in other countries in the region.
