About

Current government guidelines in the UK are that adults shouldn’t consume more than 6g of salt a day. They also say that bread should have no more than 1% salt as a percentage of the baked loaf weight.

This guideline applies to professional bakers but you might want to consider them when baking at home. In the end, how much salt you use is up to you but you can read more about the related health issues at actiononsalt.org.uk and worldactiononsalt.com.
