A study by Action on Salt & Sugar found that many UK shop-bought sandwiches exceed daily health targets for salt and calories, with one in 10 containing 'alarmingly high' amounts of salt. The charity analysed 546 options, including wraps, rolls and baguettes, from supermarkets like Tesco and Sainsbury's and chains like Gail's. The worst offender was Gail's smoked chicken caesar club, which contained 6.88g of salt, equivalent to nearly five McDonald's cheeseburgers or 10 rashers of bacon.
