A survey conducted in 2020 revealed that 18 percent of the respondents who lived on their own in the United Kingdom (UK) always checked the salt content when buying food, compared to eight percent of the respondents living with two other people. A share of 34 percent of the respondents from households with four members stated that they never looked at the salt content of the food they were buying.
