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

Questions about low sodium chicken broth
What is a low sodium chicken broth?
A chicken broth with 140 mg or less of sodium in 245 g (one cup), the amount federal labeling rules use to compare chicken broths. 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 chicken broth?
No. “Sodium free” and “no sodium” on a package both mean under 5 mg in 245 g and in the package's own serving. The lowest chicken broth here has 19 mg in a serving, on an older package.
Is there a reduced sodium chicken broth?
15 of the chicken broths here carry “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 chicken broth can still be above the low sodium line.
Does Swanson make a low sodium chicken broth?
Yes.
Swanson Chicken Broth has 36 mg per 240 mL, 36 mg in 245 g.
Does Bonafide Provisions make a low sodium chicken broth?
Yes, on an older package.
Bonafide Provisions No Salt Added Organic Chicken Broth has 55 mg per 1 cup (240 mL), 55 mg in 245 g (an older package).
What are the nutrition facts of the lowest sodium chicken broth?
36 mg sodium, 10 calories, 2 g protein and 0 g total fat in one 240 mL serving of Swanson Chicken Broth, the lowest sodium chicken broth 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 245 g, one cup: every package on the same amount, so a small serving and a large one line up.
Level: a green tag means the number in 245 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.
