Marmite off the menu in school breakfast club

The BBC is reporting that Marmite is <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/7664523.stm" alt="marmite off the menu">off the menu</a> at a school in Wales.

Ceredigion Council has taken Marmite off the menu at all 51 school breakfast clubs in the county because of salt levels. It said it was not singling out the 100-year-old spread but it was not on an approved list of products to spread on pupils' morning toast.

Whilst I love Marmite, there are alternatives, Natex yeast extract is available from most health food stores and is specifically lower in salt.

See the video report <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/7664523.stm" alt="marmite off the menu">here</a> and tell us what you think about it in the comments.
