In recent years, with the improvement of health concepts, people are no longer satisfied with eating enough and eating well, and more people have begun to pay attention to the science of how to eat and eat healthily. In particular, salt reduction condiments directly related to our diet have attracted more and more attention, and the most concerned of them is salt reduction soy sauce.
June Fresh, which has been committed to creating a healthy quality of life, has launched a new light salt soy sauce series, from 8g, 10g to 12g, launching products with different salt content for people with different tastes, taking the lead in proposing the concept of "gradual salt reduction", and through the salt reduction white paper and other supporting content, so that consumers can clearly and easily join the healthy life ranks of salt reduction.
Reducing salt and low salt are two different things
Experts say that salt-reducing soy sauce is likely to make a big difference to our lives. On the one hand, the Healthy China Strategy has been advocating for people to develop healthy living habits with a less salt diet and encouraging us to reduce salt; On the other hand, people's demand for high-quality and healthy life is more intense, and there is a higher demand for condiments such as salt-reducing soy sauce. However, due to the lack of sufficient understanding of salt reduction soy sauce, salt reduction is often confused with low sodium (low salt).
According to GB 28050 "National Standard for Food Safety, General Principles for Nutrition Labeling of Prepackaged Foods", low salt and reduced salt are actually two different concepts. Low sodium (low salt) refers to products with a sodium content ≤ 120mg/100mL or 100g; Sodium reduction (salt reduction) is a relative value, referring to products that have a sodium content reduction of more than 25% compared to the reference product.
In fact, there is no low-salt soy sauce on the market at present, and the aforementioned GB28050 is the standard for low-sodium foods, and soy sauce as a condiment is not in this category. Soy sauce itself is used for seasoning, it is impossible to be salty, and it is impossible to do low salt or even no salt, but salt reduction soy sauce is necessary to help us reduce salt intake in daily cooking, which in turn affects taste habits. According to public information, the salt content of soy sauce products on the market is generally 16-18g/100ml, and even some can reach 20g/100ml, and the salt content is less than 14g/100ml. June Fresh's newly released light salt soy sauce is the less salt content in the reduced salt soy sauce on the market, with a minimum salt content of only 8g per 100 milliliters. For those who pursue a healthy diet, of course, the less salt the better.
Good salt-reducing soy sauce should be "salt-reducing without reducing flavor and nutrition"
At present, there are about two ways to calculate the salt content of soy sauce: one is to convert it through the sodium content in the nutrition facts table, and the other is to directly mark the salt content on the packaging like the June fresh light salt soy sauce products, which will be more conducive to our intuitive selection.
June Fresh is currently the only brand on the market that dares to clearly and conspicuously identify the salt content, which is also supported by its excellent technology. In June, fresh light salt soy sauce removed excess sodium ions through patented salt reduction technology, which can reduce the salt content to less than half of ordinary soy sauce, reaching a "new low" in the salt content of soy sauce on the market.
But achieving a new low salt content is not the only advantage. The June fresh light series in the technology so that many industry experts recognize that the June fresh light series in the realization of a significant reduction in salt content at the same time, completely retain the natural umami taste of amino acid nitrogen, do not add preservatives and monosodium glutamate, to achieve a real zero addition formula, salt reduction without reducing flavor, salt reduction without nutrition, salt reduction without reducing grade, for the industry to set a new "salt reduction soy sauce new benchmark".
In addition, according to the current situation of the high-salt diet formed by the Chinese people for a long time, June fresh believes that it is not realistic to suddenly let everyone's taste drop, we will feel that the diet is tasteless, June fresh believes that the more scientific method is to start from our meal and food, so that consumers can reduce the salt bit by bit. Based on the concept of "step by step salt reduction and light salt cultivation", June Fresh makes light salt soy sauce into three salt gradients of 12g/100ml, 10g/100ml, and 8g/100ml, so that people with different tastes can choose the soy sauce that suits them.
Not long ago, June Xian also cooperated with the new weekly to launch the "White Paper on ≤ 12 Grams of Salt Reduction", which popularized the misunderstanding of salt reduction in life and recommended scientific methods for salt reduction. Innovative efforts in many aspects, such as products and science popularization, also made June Fresh win the first place in the soy sauce industry in the 2021 (seventh) China Customer Satisfaction Index list released by brand rating authority Chnbrand.
