No salt added dense cereal
One dense cereal here carries “no salt added”, “unsalted” or “low sodium” in the name:
- Food For Life Low Sodium Sprouted Crunchy Cereal 0mg per 1/2 cup (57 g) · 0 mg in 60 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 dense cereal
“Salt free” is stricter. A package may say it only when the food is sodium free, under 5 mg. 95 of the dense cereals here are that low.

Questions about low sodium dense cereal
What is a low sodium dense cereal?
A dense cereal with 140 mg or less of sodium in 60 g, the amount federal labeling rules use to compare dense cereals. 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 dense cereal?
Yes. 95 of the dense cereals here are sodium free: under 5 mg in 60 g and in the package's own serving. “No sodium” on a package means the same.
Is there a reduced sodium dense cereal?
No dense cereal 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 dense cereal can still be above the low sodium line.

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 60 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 60 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.
