These supplements reduce the nutritional value of the product and reduce its cost, he added.

"Studies have shown that the mass fraction of protein - the most important indicator for meat products - sausages are much smaller than the lower limits set by GOST for this type of sausage. In addition, some sausages so much salt that it is enough just to eat 70-80 grams of the product to cover the daily requirement of man in sodium ", - said the expert
