Lowest sodium cottage cheese by milkfat level

The lowest cottage cheese of each milkfat level, least sodium first. 1 of them reaches the low sodium level.

No salt added cottage cheese

4 cottage cheeses here carry “no salt added”, “unsalted” or “low sodium” in the name:

“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 cottage cheese

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

Questions about low sodium cottage cheese

What is a low sodium cottage cheese?

A cottage cheese with 140 mg or less of sodium in 110 g (about half a cup), the amount federal labeling rules use to compare cottage cheeses. 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 cottage cheese?

No. “Sodium free” and “no sodium” on a package both mean under 5 mg in 110 g and in the package's own serving. The lowest cottage cheese here has 15 mg in a serving, on an older package.

Is there a reduced sodium cottage cheese?

No cottage cheese 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 cottage cheese can still be above the low sodium line.
