Salt content warning over children's meals


Nando's and Wetherspoons both had children's meals containing three times as much salt as a McDonald's Happy Meal of a hamburger and fries.
Cash(Consensus Action on Salt and Health) campaign director Katharine Jenner said: "It is an outrage that when families go out for a pub lunch, they may be unknowingly putting their children's health at risk."
Desserts were also found to be a surprising source of hidden salt, Cash said, with five found to contain the same or more salt as a packet of crisps. Nando’s and Wetherspoon both stated that they would take the findings on board and Nando’s will change the menu’s.

My Opinion
My opinion about this story is that it is indeed an outrage that Nando's and Wetherspoon provides meals with such high salt levels. I did some research about Nando's and Wetherspoon. Nando's serves Portuguese food, Wetherspoon serves all kinds of food. Especially Wetherspoon has a lot of information on the site on how healthy their food is, or how you can make sure that your food will be served in a healthier version. There is nothing to find about low salt, so I hope that they will make sure that this will change in the next few weeks.

    Nando's and Wetherspoon are two different companies, which implies a plural. This would make it either Provided or Provide (depending on whether you want it to be past or present)
