"His vast knowledge and experience building some of the world's most prominent food and beverage brands will be an incredible asset to our company.

Under Peter's leadership we will expand our message of the importance of sodium reduction to consumers and continue to collaborate across the food industry to make better, healthier products."

"I'm excited to be joining this team of food industry experts who are committed to improving worldwide health through sodium reduction," Kaye said. "With heart disease as the No. 1 global health threat, it is highly motivating to be working to help address this major issue. As consumers become increasingly aware of the health risks of a diet high in sodium, our sodium-reduction products will have significant business opportunities. I am thrilled to be joining a company with simple, effective solutions for the food industry and consumers."
