If a person takes a lot of outside chutney and sauces, what should be considered?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Hidden salt and sugar
Commercial chutneys and sauces often contain added salt and sugar for taste, texture, and preservation. Frequent large portions can therefore increase sodium and free-sugar intake, contributing to hypertension, excess energy intake, weight gain, or poor glucose control. The label should be checked where available, and homemade or lower-salt, lower-sugar alternatives can be used. Colour and vitamin D are not the main concern in this question.
