Is there a low sodium butter?
Yes. 17 of the 73 butters here have 140 mg of sodium or less in 1 tbsp (15 mL) and in 50 g, the federal line for the words “low sodium”. They come from 16 brands; 15 of them have a butter at 0 mg in 1 tbsp (15 mL), the lowest figure here.
The rest do not pass both tests: the next lowest has 40 mg in 1 tbsp (15 mL), and most butter has 0 to 110 mg in a serving, 0% to 5% of the Daily Value.

“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: milk has sodium of its 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 butter
“Salt free” is stricter. A package may say it only when the food is sodium free, under 5 mg. 190 of the butters here are that low.

Questions about low sodium butter
What is a low sodium butter?
A butter with 140 mg or less of sodium in 1 tbsp (15 mL), the amount federal labeling rules use to compare butters, and in 50 g: the rules test a food with a small serving on 50 g as well. That is the line for the words “low sodium” on a package. “Very low sodium” is 35 mg or less, tested the same way, and “sodium free” is under 5 mg.
Is there a sodium free or no sodium butter?
Yes. 190 of the butters here are sodium free: under 5 mg in 1 tbsp (15 mL) and in the package's own serving. “No sodium” on a package means the same.
Is there a reduced sodium butter?
1 of the butters 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 butter can still be above the low sodium line.
Does Land O Lakes make a low sodium butter?
Yes.
Land O Lakes Unsalted Butter has 0 mg per 1 tbsp (14 g), 0 mg in 1 tbsp.
Does Kerrygold make a low sodium butter?
Yes.
Kerrygold Unsalted Pure Irish Butter has 0 mg per 1 tbsp (14 g), 0 mg in 1 tbsp.
Does Kirkland Signature make a low sodium butter?
No Kirkland Signature butter here is at the low sodium level. Its lowest:
Kirkland Signature Salted Sweet Cream Butter has 90 mg per 1 tbsp (14 g), 90 mg in 1 tbsp (an older package).
Does Challenge make a low sodium butter?
Yes, on an older package.
Challenge Unsalted Butter has 0 mg per 1 tbsp (14 g), 0 mg in 1 tbsp (an older package).
Does Smart Balance make a low sodium butter?
Yes.
Smart Balance Low Salt Butter Spread has 30 mg per 1 tbsp (11 g), 30 mg in 1 tbsp.
What are the nutrition facts of the lowest sodium butter?
0 mg sodium, 100 calories, 0 g protein and 11 g total fat in one 1 tbsp (14 g) serving of Clover Valley Unsalted, the lowest sodium butter here. The Nutrition button on each product in the list opens the rest of its Nutrition Facts.
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 1 tbsp (15 mL): every package on the same amount, so a small serving and a large one line up.
Level: a green tag means the package meets a federal level in 1 tbsp and in 50 g: low sodium (140 mg or less), very low sodium (35 mg or less) or sodium free (under 5 mg). A label that gives its serving only in mL does not say what 50 g holds, so that package gets no tag.
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.
