Résumé

To lessen the salt-intake of people in Guam for the prevention of non-communicable diseases (NCD) associated with a high sodium diet, the Racial and Ethnic Approach to Community Health (REACH) program and NCD Consortium of the Guam Bureau of Community Health Services (BCHS) formed strategies that encourage healthier eating behavior. Project stakeholders, like restaurants, food services establishments, and vendors, removed salt products from dine-in tables, including saltshakers, soy sauce, and finadene. Combined programmatic efforts resulted in support by 47 restaurants out of 140 restaurants that were approached for the salt reduction initiative: the removal of saltshakers and other high sodium-containing condiments from tables, made available only upon a customer's request.
