A new Bronx eatery is putting health at the forefront as city officials push for stricter warnings on high-sodium meals. Healthy Fresh, a Bronx-based chain, recently opened its third location in Morris Park. The owner says the restaurant’s mission is to serve clean, nutritious food without the heavy sodium and processed ingredients often found in fast-food meals. “A lot of this sickness is coming from food — what we eat,” owner Jaime Baeza said. “Processed food, sodium, a lot of fatty foods — it’s all bad.” The Bronx consistently ranks last in overall health outcomes in city data. Local officials point to blocks like a plaza in Soundview, where multiple fast-food chains sit within steps of each other, as part of the problem. That environment is fueling calls for clearer warnings about sodium levels. City Councilmember Oswald Feliz has introduced legislation that would require restaurants to display a red-and-white label on any menu item containing more than 1,800 milligrams of sodium, along with information about associated health risks. “The bill, if passed, would require that high-level sodium meals have a red and white warning,” Feliz said. Currently, only items with more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium — the CDC’s recommended daily limit — receive a warning icon. The proposed bill would lower that threshold to give consumers more information and encourage restaurants to reduce salt content. Customers say they welcome the change. “I think it’s good to have more information about what’s in our food,” said Meghan, a customer. “So we can make more informed decisions on what we’re eating.” Feliz said he hopes the legislation passes before the end of the year as part of a broader effort to improve New Yorkers’ health.
