Answer: His sodium intake exceeds the established limit by the DRI committee.

Explanation: The Dietary Reference Intake committee has set a daily limit of between 1500mg for an average adult to 2300mg. By consuming 1000mg of sodium from processed foods and an additional 2000mg from his salt intake this makes it a total of 3000mg which exceeds the daily maximum limit of 2300mg. This can have negative effects on his health.
