Did you read this?

Made from natural ingredients – tomatoes, vinegar, sugar, salt and spices – what can possibly be wrong with tomato sauce? Well, let’s talk salt. The Food Standards Authority defines a high-salt food as one with 1.25g salt (0.5g sodium) per 100g and a low-salt snack as one with 0.25g salt (0.1g sodium) per 100g. A typical bottle of Heinz Tomato Ketchup contains 3.1g of salt (1.2g of sodium) per 100g.

High consumption is linked to raised blood pressure, strokes and heart attacks. Average daily salt consumption is 8.6g against a recommended maximum of 6g.

Last year the UK’s Food Standards Agency published salt-reduction targets for 2012, which focused on bread, meat products, breakfast cereals and convenience foods.

For tomato sauce the agency noted that the average salt content across all brands was around 2.4g salt (1g sodium) per 100g. Revised 2012 targets aim to take this down to 1.83g salt (730mg sodium) per 100g. Heinz and all the other manufacturers of tomato sauce clearly have a long way to go.

While we're looking at the fine print, the FSA also defines high-sugar content as being 10g per 100g. Heinz Tomato Ketchup contains 23.7g sugar per 100g :eek::eek::eek::eek:

hun it was a joke!!! :eek:

I mentioned a couple of weeks ago about taking my excess glitching items to the food bank but kept forgetting. Seeing FKs posts today I finally got my backside in gear. I'm not a religous person so I was a bit wary of going to a church but the folk there couldn't have been nicer. They wanted to know how I heard about them and was I sure I could spare so much stuff. I briefly explained 'glitching' and told them if all went well, I'd be back next week with more stuff plus some ketchup!

It may not sound like much but given how small our wee country is, I was surprised to hear that tonight alone, the foodbank had helped 5 families. I had a quick look around what they have and apparently UHT milk is something they always run out of so I've made a mental note. Now I hope this doesn't get them into trouble but the organisation that runs the foodbank is quite strict. I asked do they take stuff other than what they have listed on their website and was told they keep a wee stash of extras. As the girl said, if people can't afford food, how can they afford 'luxuries' such as shower gel, lady products etc.

I am giving serious consideration to volunteering with them but in the mean time, each and every glitch could mean the world to a stranger so bring it on. :j

Oh and would some kind person be able to PM me the process for using the Huggies coupons please (in detail sorry - baby steps and all that )? I know someone posted before but I can't remember the details. I want to donate some nappies & wipes etc as I know how expensive they are as a parent.

Away to find the OPs for the ketchup. My shop from 9pm tonight worked :j

Hi such a kind & thoughtful thing you have done. I too was inspired by FK's post & looked into the food bank but York doesn't seem to be on the list so I will look into another way of donating. I am sure the likes of A's & T's won't mind seeing as it is for a charitable cause

oh forgot to say and this will probably wind FK up but I don't care but they put a pallet of shades out at 5 minutes before closing today, yesterday when i bought a single pack i had all and sundry security wise descend on me:eek::eek::eek::eek: so today i saw a suit and asked them. She was a manager and couldn't believe the :mad::mad::mad::mad:way i had been treated last week, told me I could buy as many as i liked:T:T:T:T:T:T:T however i behaved myself and got 6:D:D:D:p:p:p:p
