Two of Canadas Networks of Centres of Excellence – the Canadian Stroke Network and the Advanced Foods Materials Network – today awarded the third annual national “Salt Lick Award” to Gerber Graduates Lil Entrees. This choice was made because the “Chicken Pasta Wheel Pickups” dinner serves up the sodium equivalent to two orders of medium McDonalds Fries.
The Gerber Graduates meal, which the packaging says is “appropriate for children 1 year or older” and “specially made for toddlers,” contains 550 mg of sodium, or more than half a toddlers adequate daily intake of 1,000 mg. Meanwhile, according to the McDonalds Canada website, a medium order of French Fries contains 270 mg of sodium.
This year, the Salt Lick Award focuses on food for young children in order to highlight the inappropriately high levels of sodium added to meals targeted at toddlers. The Canadian Stroke Network and Advanced Foods and Materials Network conducted a product scan of popular baby and toddler foods, resulting in selection of the Graduates meal for the Salt Lick Award. There is good news however: some popular brands in the marketplace have no added sodium.
Dr. Kevin Willis, who leads efforts by the Canadian Stroke Network to raise awareness of the dangers of excessive sodium intake, says “there is a concern that eating too much sodium in childhood can lead to a preference for salty foods and, consequently, an increased risk of disease as an adult.”
Dr. Rickey Yada, Scientific Director of the Advanced Foods and Materials Network, mirrors this sentiment: “Canadians need to follow the everything in moderation concept to develop a healthy and sustainable diet. Products high in salt will make such an exercise very difficult and will contribute to the toll many chronic diseases are taking on our health-care system, and our lives.”
Home insurance claims are on the rise due to increasing numbers of accidents resulting from dinner parties.
Swinton, the UKs leading retailer of home insurance believes the popularity of TV shows such as Channel 4s Come Dine with Me could be contributing to the hike in claims.
An online survey of 1,200 customers found that 67% of homeowners had hosted a dinner party which resulted in an accident in the last six months.
Of those polled 28% had made a claim for damage to furnishings and electrical equipment caused by dinner guests. The most common accident during a dinner party was spilling red wine on the carpet.
Other common accidents cited by homeowners included spilling food on the carpet, breaking electrical items, cigarette burns in the carpet or sofa and scratching the dining room table.
