Objective: To evaluate the impact of a salt reduction strategy on the satisfaction and blood pressure of a food concessionaires' customers. Materials and methods: Quasi-experimental. In the pre-intervention phase the amount of salt used, by weighing, was determined in the menu preparations to determine the percent reduction. In the intervention phase the reduction of 20% of salt in the recipes was implemented. Four hedonic assessments and two blood pressure measurements were performed before and after the intervention implementation using standardized techniques. In addition, the subjective evaluation of residues was carried out daily on all plates of the diners of the concessionaire. Mixed linear models were created to evaluate the impact of the intervention. Results and discussion: A total of 71 workers were evaluated, who consumed in the company's dining room, on average 4.4 (DE: 7) days a week. Systolic blood pressure was reduced by 3.1 (95% CI: 4.3 - 2) mmHg and diastolic by 2.9 (95% CI: 3.8; -2.0) mmHg at the end of the study. The results of the hedonic test before and after the intervention did not vary significantly, as did the results of the residue test. Conclusions: The reduction of salt to 20% in foods prepared by a food concessionaire had a positive impact on the reduction of the blood pressure of the diners, without producing a significant decrease in the acceptability of the same ones. It is recommended to apply similar strategies in other contexts since this is a reproducible, low cost intervention that can generate tangible benefits in the health of individuals.
