The next lowest brands, all above the low sodium line:

Lowest sodium canned fish by kind

The lowest canned fish of each kind, least sodium first. 2 of them reach the low sodium level.

No salt added canned fish

25 canned fish here carry “no salt added”, “unsalted” or “low sodium” in the name. The 12 to look at first, newer packages before older ones:

“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 canned fish

“Salt free” is stricter. A package may say it only when the food is sodium free, under 5 mg. No canned fish here is that low.

Low sodium canned fish at Walmart, Trader Joe's, Costco and other stores

The lowest canned fish of each store's own brand. 1 of them reaches the low sodium level.

Questions about low sodium canned fish

What is a low sodium canned fish?

A canned fish with 140 mg or less of sodium in 85 g, the amount federal labeling rules use to compare canned fish. That is the line for the words “low sodium” on a package. “Very low sodium” is 35 mg or less and “sodium free” is under 5 mg.

Is there a sodium free or no sodium canned fish?

No. “Sodium free” and “no sodium” on a package both mean under 5 mg in 85 g and in the package's own serving. The lowest canned fish here has 15 mg in a serving, on an older package.

Is there a reduced sodium canned fish?
