Burger King Limits Sodium in 'Kids Meals'
Posted by: Dr. Mercola

Burger King, the world's second largest hamburger chain, plans to limit sodium in its "Kids Meals" as it works to change its reputation.

The move comes as local and state lawmakers are imposing more rules on eateries, ranging from banning transfats to requiring calorie counts on restaurant menus.

Burger King said that it would limit sodium to 600 milligrams or less in all of its Kids Meals advertised to children younger than 12. Burger King was among the last major fast-food purveyors to eliminate transfat from its food, and has been criticized for not putting enough focus on health and nutrition.
