According to a study carried out by the Federal Consumer Attorney’s Office (prophecy), there are marks of canned slices that contain a high percentage of sodium, which can be very harmful to health of the consumer.

According to the information published by the agency in one of the issues of the Consumer Magazine The worst pickled jalapeno slices there were three: Golden Hills, the brunette, Saint Mark.

Since the recommended portion to ingest is 30 grams, depending on the product that has been purchased, up to 618 mg of sodium can be ingested, which would be equivalent to the 30.9% sodium intake recommended by the World Health Organization ( WHO).

So that the brand Golden Hills proved to contain 618 mg sodium per 30 gthat is to say that he presented up to 7 thousand 834 mg for each container of 380 g.
