Dr Judith Bryans, director of the Dairy Council, said: “We have been informed that Cash has issued an apology for an inaccurate reference to cheese being the third biggest contributor to salt in the diet in its cheese survey results press release. They have since removed this reference from their release.
“The British dairy industry takes its responsibilities with regard to nutrition and food safety very seriously indeed. It makes cheese that contains many valuable nutrients and is an important part of a healthy diet.
“Cheese has been one of the staples of the British diets for centuries and many people will see this report as another attempt to undermine one of the nation’s favourites.”
We welcome this apology and this correction which shows how important it is to provide accurate information.
