• Frankfurters, Hot Dogs from current average 1012 to 730
• Bone-in Batter and Breaded Poultry from current average 599 to 380
• Flavored Potato Chips from current average 774 to 380
• White and Wheat Bread from current average 523 and 471 down to 300 for bothBut never fear.  SPI Group is proud to present our sodium reduction toolbox – highlighted here are salt replacers:
