CHILDREN'S meals at popular restaurants such as Gourmet Burger Kitchen, Prezzo and Bella Italia can contain more than a day's recommended salt intake, a report claims.

Professor Graham MacGregor, an expert in cardiovascular medicine and chair of Action on Salt, warned too much in early life could lead to high blood pressure later.
