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 85 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 85 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.
