" Many of the cheese products sold in supermarkets are surprisingly high in salt, a study has revealed. Consensus Action on Salt and Health (Cash) analysed 772 cheeses and found that cheddar typically contains more salt than a packet of crisps, providing around 0.52g of salt per 30g portion. Roquefort, halloumi and cheese singles emerged as the worst offenders, with mascarpone, cottage and cream cheese and mozzarella containing the least salt. The findings suggest that a high intake of cheese could increase a person&amp;#039;s risk of heart disease and stroke. Katharine Jenner, campaign director at Cash, said: &amp;#039;We already know most cheese is high in fat; however we often add it to our meals without thinking how much salt it contains. &amp;#039;This survey shows that just one portion of cheese can contain more salt than a packet of crisps, so it&amp;#039;s worth looking at the label and choosing a lower salt version of your favourite cheese, or just use a little less next time you get the grater out.&amp;#039; Health experts say that adults should consume less than 6g of salt per day to reduce their risk of ill-health.
