    That’s fair. I also don’t know the extent of their use of the substitute, whether it was a total replacement or just basic at-home cooking, or even a replacement for added salt.

    Depending on the proportion replaced, 1/3 could be a pretty big change. But I agree that it would be more effective to reduce it at the source.
