3. 1 • The Impact of Sodium

4. The Impact of Sodium Growing health concerns over excessive sodium consumption • THE FACTS – • High Sodium Dietary Intake is the leading cause of Hypertension • Hypertension costs the world healthcare system $300 Billionper year • Hypertension kills more than 34 Million people globally per year • Hypertension kills more people than all Cancers, Diabetes & Malaria COMBINED • This increases risk of Heart Attack, Stroke & Stomach Cancer • Children are getting addicted to high sodium diets • Source: World Health Organisation [4]

5. The Impact of Sodium Growing health concerns over excessive sodium consumption • 2013 dietary guidelines recommend daily intake of 1,500mgto 2,000 mg • Average Daily Consumption = 3,466mg daily • Diets high in processed foods can have daily sodium intake in excess of 10,000mg • Processed foods account for 75% of sodium intake • 10% of Sodium Occurs Naturally in Foods • The remaining 15% of Sodium is eaten from the Salt added at Home • Source: World Health Organisation [5]

6. The Impact of Sodium Consumers look for health claims on nutritional labels • 2011 – 37% of U.S. consumers checked sodium content • 2012 – 43% of consumers say they check products for sodium claims • 2013 – 66% of U.S. consumers said sodium levels are the new top label concern • “Greater Consumer Awareness” [6] • Source: Nielsen Co., Harris Interactive, Health Focus International Trend Study

7. The Impact of Sodium Consumers Sodium & Potassium Levels Need to Change • Usual Intake of Potassium • Usual Intake of Sodium [7] The adequate intake and upper limit for sodium by age, as established by the Institute of Medicine The adequate intake for Potassium by age, as established by the Institute of Medicine

8. 2 • Sodium Replacement Solution

9. Sodium Replacement Solution Strategic R&D Mission • 2006:Discovery - Sodium Reduction Technology • Objective: Develop a Sodium Reduction Solution to Improve Global Health • Match the TASTE & INTENSITY of Sodium Chloride • Match the FUNCTIONALITYof Sodium Chloride • Ensure a “CLEAN LABEL” Solution • Be “COST EFFECTIVE” • Comply with REGULATORY STANDARDS - GLOBALLY 2011: Commercial Product Developed – NU-TEK SALT - PATENTSissued/launched Results: Up to 50% sodium reduction across All Major Food Categories 2014:Expand product distribution GLOBALLY [9]

10. Sodium Replacement Solution Global Distribution Network Established [10]

11. Sodium Replacement Solution What is Nu-Tek Salt • Patented technology - based “Single Crystal” solution • Delivers the Taste and Intensity of regular salt • Delivers up to 50% sodium reduction in key categories(Meat/Bakery/Cheese) • No compromise in Functionality or Food Safety • Protein Extraction (Yield, Texture, & Color) • Water Activity (Aw) and Inhibition of Listeria • Provides a single, cost effective “Global Solution” • Easy to use 1:1 replacement delivers Consistent Results • GRAS, All Natural, Kosher & Halal Certification • Clean Label [11]

12. Sodium Replacement Solution How to Use Nu-Tek Salt: • Nu-Tek Salt is a 1:1 Salt Replacer • If Salt was your only Sodium Input and you wanted to achieve a 30% Sodium Reduction this would mean: - • Example • Current Formulation • 2% Salt • 30% Sodium Reduced Formula • 1.4% Salt • 0.6% Nu-Tek Potassium Chloride [12]
