Crumpets from big brands contain ‘alarmingly high’ salt levels, survey finds

Popular brands of crumpets contain “alarmingly high” amounts of salt, with one “giant” version having the equivalent of more than three bags of ready salted crisps, a survey has found. Warburtons’ Giant Crumpets contain twice the concentration of salt per 100g than a Waitrose own-brand version, showing that the content can easily be reduced by manufacturers, Consensus Action on Salt and Health said.
