Yes I have seen the Sky coverage and it is interesting Dolmio have decided on this sort of PR which obviously could damage the sales of their product.

I suppose Dolmio are trying to say hey, we are a responsible company and we are advising this but surely it will set people thinking and sales will drop.. A good thing , yes, but I will still use Dolmio as it is a favourite of ours. [badnanemoticon]

Has anyone seen this on the BBC this morning? www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-36051333

"The firm behind Dolmio pasta sauces and Uncle Ben's rice says some products should only be consumed once a week due to high salt, sugar or fat content."

I tend to make my own sauces, but I must admit to using a Dolmio jar when we're short for time. There must be lots of people who use them on a regular basis.
