The new Vegemite Kids has 50% less salt. No, that’s not ‘un-Australian’

The new Vegemite Kids variant, with 50% less salt, aims to address growing concerns about children's salt consumption without sacrificing flavor. While some might worry this change goes against traditional Aussie tastes, experts argue it's a necessary step towards healthier eating habits. This shift is significant as high salt intake in children can lead to long-term health issues, including hypertension and heart disease. By offering a lower-salt alternative, Vegemite Kids could play a part in reducing these risks, aligning with global health guidelines.
