Australia’s saltiest spread has debuted a healthy new version which contains 40% less sodium and has the added benefit of vitamins B6 and B12.

The new Vegemite 40% Less Salt will replace the recently released Salt Reduced Vegemite, which lowered the sodium content by 25%.

Vegemite has always contained B1, B2, B3, and B9 vitamins, and for the first time, Vegemite 40% Less Salt will also include B6 and B12, which offers immune support and aids metabolism.

The new recipe follows calls from consumers, namely older Australians and those with young children, who are looking to cut down their salt intake without sacrificing their favourite brekky.

Before panic sets in, it’s important to note that this is an entirely new product and you’ll still be able to get your hands on the original Vegemite, which has not been altered in any way.

Vegemite 40% Less Salt is now available in a 235g and 440g jar from selected supermarkets nationwide.
