No salt added canned meat
2 canned meats here carry “no salt added”, “unsalted” or “low sodium” in the name:
- Wild Planet No Salt Added Organic Roasted Chicken Breast 25mg per 56 g · 25 mg in 55 g · older package
- Hormel No Salt Added Premium in Water with Rib Meat Chicken Breast 80mg per 56 g · 79 mg in 55 g · older package
“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 meat
“Salt free” is stricter. A package may say it only when the food is sodium free, under 5 mg. No canned meat here is that low.

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 55 g: every package on the same amount, so a small serving and a large one line up.
Level: a green tag means the number in 55 g meets a federal level: low sodium (140 mg or less), very low sodium (35 mg or less) or sodium free (under 5 mg). 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.
