Campbells to reduce sodium in products

Campbell Soup Company will reduce sodium by at least 25% in some of their top-selling soups. What are they using in its place? Sea salt, which is naturally lower in sodium, and has other trace minerals that lowers its hypertensive effect. Conventional salt is bleached and 'chemicalized' during processing. Sea Salt is not.

Now granted, they are not removing all conventional sodium from their products. It is a blend of sea salt and conventional salt. Although, Campbell's postulates that in the future, all of their products could be exclusively made with sea salt.

Still, their products contain too much sodium, artificial colors and flavors, MSG, sugar, and chemicals. If we could just get them to remove these as well?????
