Summary
Some food sold by supermarkets as 'healthy' contains more sugar and salt than standard equivalents, according to a report published today. Consumer watchdog Which? also warned shoppers were being 'misled' into believing the same products were significantly lower in calories and fat.
For example, a bowl of 'Be Good to Yourself' muesli from Sainsbury's contains 16.4g of sugar - three times more than the 5g in a bowl of the chain's standard equivalent. The survey also found Asda's 'Good for You!' digestive biscuits contain 0.7g of sodium (a component of salt) per 100g, - the same amount as in its less healthy range.See the full content of this document
