DENVER, COLORADO, UNITED STATES, August 17, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- TraceGains, the leading Food Safety and Quality Assurance (FSQA) software solution for food and consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies, is hosting a webinar on September 14 to explore how the food industry is responding to the FDA’s war on salt.

“The FDA’s draft guidance for voluntary sodium reduction targets has received some pushback from food companies and industry trade associations, especially given the evolving science on sodium,” said Dana Johnson Downing, TraceGains Director of Industry & Policy. “Meanwhile, some companies have proactively reformulated to lower salt. On our webinar, we will examine the policy landscape and delve into a case study of successful sodium reduction in food formulations.”

The guest speakers for the webinar will be Jacquelyn Clark of Accenture and Beth Johnson of Food Directions. They will help the audience better understand how the FDA’s war on salt will affect food companies and what steps some companies have already taken to be proactive on the issue. Specifically the webinar will address:

• Policy overview - how did we get here?
• How has industry responded to the FDA's guidance?
• A case study of one company's efforts to reduce sodium in more than 60 formulations
• A three-tiered approach to reformulation for lower sodium

The webinar is offered free of charge as a service to its customers and the industry at large. The presentation and Q&A will take place on Wednesday, September 14, 2016, at 10:00 AM Mountain Time. To register, visit www.tracegains.com/events.
