The National Bakery Confederation is asking bakers to put less salt in their baguettes from Sunday October 1st.

On October 1, bakers must commit to limiting salt to 1.4 grams per 100 grams of traditional bread, and even 1.3 grams for special breads. A new weight which will constrain Thierry Valat to review the making of its breads. In his store, some customers also have little taste for these new regulations.
