More than a quarter of meat-free burgers, sausages and mince tested for a study exceed maximum recommended salt levels, a campaign group has warned.

A total of 28% of the 157 meat substitute products studied by Action on Salt missed the voluntary salt targets set by Public Health England.

Would be interesting to know what is their "normal" result when they do a test, as in, how many % of products tested have too much salt.

I would expect that many of the tests they do for all types of food products yield a similar result.
