Is there a sodium free baking powder?
Not among these 17. None has under 5 mg of sodium in 0.6 g, the federal line for the words “sodium free”. On so small an amount the low sodium line, 140 mg in 50 g, comes out lower still, so a food at that line is sodium free already.
No baking powder here comes near the line: the lowest has 50 mg in 0.6 g, and most baking powder has 60 to 160 mg in a serving, 3% to 7% of the Daily Value.
Sodium free baking powder brands
No brand has a baking powder at the sodium free level here. The lowest of each brand:
- Wegmans Baking Powder 50mg per 1/8 tsp (0.6 g) · 50 mg in 0.6 g
- Rexal Double Acting Baking Powder 55mg per 1/8 tsp (0.6 g) · 55 mg in 0.6 g
- Traders Joe's Baking Powder 55mg per 0.6 g · 55 mg in 0.6 g

- Kraft Double Acting Baking Powder 60mg per 1/8 tsp (0.6 g) · 60 mg in 0.6 g
No salt added baking powder
No baking powder here carries “no salt added”, “unsalted” or “low sodium” in the name.
“No salt added” and “unsalted” mean that no salt goes in while the food is made, on a food that is normally made with salt. Neither means no sodium: the other ingredients have sodium of their own. When the food is not sodium free, the package has to say “not a sodium free food” or “not for control of sodium in the diet” next to the Nutrition Facts.
Salt free baking powder
“Salt free” is stricter. A package may say it only when the food is sodium free, under 5 mg. No baking powder here is that low.

Questions about sodium free baking powder
What is a sodium free baking powder?
A baking powder with under 5 mg of sodium in 0.6 g, the amount federal labeling rules use to compare baking powders and baking sodas, and in the package's own serving. That is the line for the words “sodium free” on a package; “no sodium” means the same.
Is there a reduced sodium baking powder?
1 of the baking powders and baking sodas here carries “reduced sodium”, “less sodium” or “lower sodium” in the name. On a package those words mean at least 25 percent less sodium than the regular food it is compared with, so a reduced sodium baking powder can still be above the sodium free line.

How to read the numbers
Sodium in one serving, from the package's Nutrition Facts. The serving is next to it.
% Daily Value is that serving's share of 2,300 mg, the Daily Value for sodium on US packages.
In 0.6 g: every package on the same amount, so a small serving and a large one line up.
Level: a green tag means sodium free: under 5 mg in 0.6 g and in the package's own serving. The package may not print those words.
Nutrition opens the rest of one serving's Nutrition Facts and the ingredient list. More nutrition puts those numbers in the list, to order by any of them.
Filters narrow the list by store, brand, the words on the label and ingredients. An ingredient filter also leaves out products that give no ingredient list.
2024 or newer: the list opens with packages from 2024 or later. Untick the box to add older ones; some may have changed or left the shelf.
These are package numbers, not advice. How much sodium is right for you is for your doctor or dietitian to say.
