Why a reduced salt version exists
This is a genuinely British piece of context. The United Kingdom has run a sustained, government-led salt reduction programme for the better part of two decades, setting category-by-category sodium targets that manufacturers have reformulated products to meet. It is one of the more consequential differences between the British and American food environments, and it shows up right across a UK supermarket.
Marmite is an obvious candidate, because salt is central to what it is. The reduced salt version is the response: the same yeast extract character with the sodium pulled back, for people who want the flavour without the full salt load.
American shoppers will not find an equivalent, partly because the product category does not exist there and partly because the regulatory pressure that produced it does not either.
What it tastes like
Recognisably Marmite, slightly softer. Salt does a lot of work in the original, so removing some of it takes an edge off, and regular eaters will notice. Whether that is an improvement depends entirely on what you want from it.
If you are buying Marmite for the first time, this is not the jar to start with, because you will not have a reference point for what has changed. Buy the standard 125g first.
Who it is for
Mostly people managing sodium for health reasons who do not want to give up their breakfast, and parents introducing it to children. It keeps the B vitamin fortification, so it does the same nutritional job: Marmite is a meaningful source of B12, which matters in a vegan or vegetarian diet.
The same allergen caveat applies as to standard Marmite. The yeast extract contains barley, wheat, oat and rye, so it is not gluten-free, and there is celery in the flavouring.

Frequently asked questions
How much less salt is in it?
Check the nutrition panel on the jar for the current figures, which are stated per 100g and per serving. Formulations are revised periodically.
Does it still have the B vitamins?
Yes. The fortification with B vitamins, including B12, is retained.
Does it taste different?
Slightly softer than the original, because salt carries a lot of the intensity. Regular Marmite eaters will notice the difference.
Is it gluten-free?
No. Like standard Marmite it contains barley, wheat, oat and rye, and celery in the flavouring.
