For instance, the government of Mexico, under the NOM-051, made it mandatory to display a warning on the packaging of products that had more than 350mg of sodium for every 100 grams of the product, beginning in October 2020. Thus, increasing awareness regarding the downside of high sodium intake can make people minimize table salt consumption, thereby, constraining the market growth.
