On page 2, second column, 6th paragraph, line 2, where the text reads:

After applying the 25% reduction for the year 2017, the estimated mean reduction was 6.3% (Table 2). The mean sodium intake reduction was similar among the sex and age groups, ranging between 5.6% among male adults and 7.6% among women.

it shoud read:

After applying the 25% reduction for the year 2017, the estimated mean reduction was 9.2% (Table 2). The mean sodium intake reduction was similar among the sex and age groups, ranging between 8.5% among male adults and 10.4% among aged women.

On Table 1, where the text reads:

Table 1:
Mean sodium content, maximum content of sodium agreed for the years 2013, 2016 and 2017, and final proportion of reduction at the end of five years after the agreement, for the food groups assessed by the National Dietary Survey (NDS 2008-2009).
