Veggie burgers 'just as salty' as meat ones

Contributed by VeggieGirl

Vegetarian burgers and sausages may seem healthy but many are just as salty as meat varieties, a study has revealed.

One make of veggie burger contained more salt than three packets of crisps, while one vegetarian sausage was saltier than five packets of

crisps.

Fry's Vegetarian Traditional Sausage contained 2.8g of salt per sausage – the highest in the study – and nearly half the maximum recommended daily limit of 6g.

In contrast, one pork sausage from Sainsbury's contained 0.7g of salt – a quarter that of the vegetarian option.

Fry's vegetarian burgers had 1.8g of salt, making them six times saltier than an Asda meat burger.
