The Department of Nutrition and Food Safety (NFS) is launching the second edition of the WHO SHAKE the salt habit, a technical package for sodium reduction on 12 May, at 14:00 – 15:15 CET.
Excess sodium intake is a leading dietary risk factor for hypertension and cardiovascular disease globally. Over the last decade, WHO has produced a range of guidelines and frameworks aimed at reducing sodium intake, building on both scientific and programme evidence.
On 12 May 2026, WHO will launch the second edition of the SHAKE package, which brings together all these updated guidelines and country experiences to guide the work of policy-makers and programme managers in a more practical way.
This global launch webinar will introduce the updated SHAKE package, highlight what is new, and showcase real-world country experiences demonstrating how coordinated, mandatory policies can deliver measurable health impact.
Join the webinar to learn about the updated WHO SHAKE technical package, including new recommendations and practical tools for implementation and hear first-hand from countries implementing sodium reduction policies as well as partners supporting sodium reduction in countries.
