Where the salt and sugar hide

A short read

Hidden in plain sight

Salt and sugar are easy to see in chips or candy. But most of what we eat comes already made for us. A lot of the salt and sugar is mixed in before we buy it. It often hides in foods that do not taste salty or sweet.

Where does most of the salt people eat come from?
