All-Bran is All-Bran, 권리?

If you regularly eat a cereal like Kellogg’s All-Bran in the U.S., you’d assume that that cereal would taste the same in Canada.

Not according to a recent study by the group, 소금과 건강에 관한 세계 액션 (워시).

그들은보고 ê·¸ many popular foods, including Burger King’s onion rings and Special K cereal, êµ­ê²½ 그들이 남쪽보다 캐나다에서 훨씬 더 많은 나트륨을 가지고.

Here’s more on what they found:

새로운 연구는 보여준다 그 people in some countries are being fed over twice as much salt in popular global brands as their counterparts elsewhere in the world.

소금과 건강에 관한 세계 액션 (워시) has surveyed over 260 food products available around the world from food manufacturers such as KFC, 맥도날드, 켈로그, 비벼 대다, Burger King and Subway.  Not one product surveyed had the same salt content around the world and some displayed huge differences in salt content from one country to another.

Kellogg’s All-Bran, 예를 들면, contains 2.15g of salt per 100g in Canada, but only 0.65g of salt per 100g just over the border in the United States, less than a third of the Canadian level.

의 순서 버거킹 어니언 링 있다 681 캐나다에서 100g 당 나트륨의 밀리그램, 하지만 미국에서 그들을 주문할 경우, the sodium content is 538 100g 당 MG. 캐나다, 100g의 Special K cereal 있다 931 소금 MG, 미국에서 잠시, the same portion of cereal contains 710 나트륨의 MG.

In an article about the WASH study, entitled “소금과 같은 캐나다로,” the 글로브와 메일 이러한 차이를 차지하고 무엇인지 찾기 위해 시도:

버거킹 사. did not respond to a request for comment, and no company contacted agreed to an interview on sodium. 여러, including KFC Canada and McDonald’s Restaurants of Canada Ltd., declined an interview request but sent a statement via e-mail.

A McDonald’s Canada spokesman said the company reviews its menus frequently, while KFC Canada said sodium levels may be higher in one country than another due to consumer preference.

켈로그 캐나다 INC. also declined an interview request, but said in an e-mail statement that “geographical variances in consumer taste preferences and ingredient supplies” explain why some of the company’s products contain different amounts of sodium in different countries. The company’s products contain “the minimum amount of sodium needed to meet consumers’ taste preference in new products,” according to an e-mail statement from Christine Lowry, vice-president of nutrition and corporate affairs.
