At ILSI, we bring science and research to diverse audiences through a wide range of events. From independent symposia and workshops to hands-on training sessions, we host, sponsor, and co-organize events that foster learning and collaboration. Many of ILSI's events are also featured as part of larger scientific and professional conferences, further expanding opportunities for engagement, dialogue, and discovery. Join us!
This one-day symposium convenes scientific experts and stakeholders to strengthen understanding of sodium consumption patterns, advance assessment methods, and align policy and industry practices with scientific evidence, while fostering consumer acceptance of lower-sodium options.
Excessive dietary sodium intake is considered a major contributor to hypertension and other non-communicable diseases (NCDs), posing a significant public health challenge worldwide. Despite global recommendations and intervention measures to reduce sodium consumption, many populations, including those in Southeast Asia, continue to exceed advised intake levels. It is therefore essential to have a better understanding of the main contributors to sodium intake in communities within the region, as well as to review the approaches and strategies undertaken. Addressing this issue requires coordinated efforts across scientific, policy, industry, and consumer domains to ensure effective and sustainable sodium reduction strategies.
This one-day symposium brings together scientific experts, public health authorities, industry representatives, and other stakeholders to jointly re-think this long-standing issue of sodium and health. With the prevailing high rates of NCDs in the region, there is an urgent need to better understand sodium consumption patterns to identify the main sources of sodium in the diet. This would include understanding the long-held culinary practices and the increased consumption of meals away from home, as well as the role of processed foods. Additionally, it is important to strengthen the tools used to measure sodium intake from various sources, particularly through emerging and more accurate population-level assessment methods. These measures will provide the fundamentals needed to align approaches and strategies with key players in the food environment - food service and food processing industries - with available science to work towards more optimal sodium intake of the population.
SESSION TOPICS
Session 1: Understanding Sodium in the Diet
Session 2: Bridging Consumers, Industry, and Policy: Strategies for Effective Sodium Reduction
Session 3: Driving Sodium Reduction Forward: Industry as a Critical Part of Innovative Solutions
Session 4: Panel Discussion on Advancing Sodium Reduction: Challenges, Opportunities, and Multisectoral Solutions
Stay tuned- more information on the program and speakers will be announced shortly.
REGISTRATION
Registration details will be available soon.
