Every stock, gravy and seasoning product broken down by made-up serving, with salt compared against NHS daily reference intakes.
Stock and gravy products are predominantly salt. In most cases salt is the first or second ingredient, which is why they are the largest hidden contributor in home cooking.
The per-100g figure describes the cube or powder, not the liquid. What matters is the salt in a made-up portion, which is what actually reaches the plate.
Reduced-salt stock cubes are widely available and typically carry between a third and a half less.
The daily salt limit is 2g for a child aged 1 to 3 and 3g for a 4 to 6 year old. A single portion of standard gravy can use a substantial share of it.
Building flavour with herbs, aromatics and acid rather than stock is the practical route to reducing salt in family cooking.
Each product page includes a full nutrition breakdown per serving and per pack, portion size comparisons, age-adjusted NHS daily reference intake calculations for children aged 4 to 17, an interactive calculator for your child's specific age and gender, and a complete ingredient and allergen guide.
