About MicroSalt
MicroSalt® is disrupting the global salt market with its patented, full-flavour, low-sodium salt designed for both food manufacturers and consumers. Using proprietary micron-sized particles, MicroSalt® delivers the same salty taste as traditional salt with approximately 50% less sodium, offering a scalable solution to one of the world's most pressing health challenges. Year to date through 2025, MicroSalt® has contributed to more than 634M servings made healthier.
Excess sodium consumption is a leading contributor to cardiovascular disease, the world's number one cause of death. The World Health Organisation has targeted a 30% reduction in global sodium intake by 2025, a shift projected to save seven million lives by 2030. The economic case is equally compelling: in the UK alone, cardiovascular disease costs £19 billion annually, and reducing average daily salt intake by just one gram could save over 4,000 lives and £288 million each year.
Operational since 2018, MicroSalt® has established a defensible IP portfolio, holding a granted US patent and 14 pending applications worldwide. These protections create significant barriers to entry in a market expected to grow exponentially as regulation and consumer demand accelerate.
MicroSalt® is ideally positioned for scale and market leadership, with clear pathways into food manufacturing, consumer channels, and ultimately the broader £10+ billion global salt market. MicroSalt® is more than a healthier alternative-it is a disruptive, category-defining solution poised to deliver significant commercial and societal impact.
