No salt added enchilada sauce
No enchilada sauce here carries “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: 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 enchilada sauce
“Salt free” is stricter. A package may say it only when the food is sodium free, under 5 mg. No enchilada sauce here is that low.

Questions about low sodium enchilada sauce
What is a low sodium enchilada sauce?
An enchilada sauce with 140 mg or less of sodium in 1/4 cup (60 mL), the amount federal labeling rules use to compare enchilada sauces. 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 enchilada sauce?
No. “Sodium free” and “no sodium” on a package both mean under 5 mg in 1/4 cup (60 mL) and in the package's own serving. The lowest enchilada sauce here has 70 mg in a serving, on an older package.
Is there a reduced sodium enchilada sauce?
No enchilada sauce 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 enchilada sauce 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 1/4 cup (60 mL): every package on the same amount, so a small serving and a large one line up.
Level: a green tag means the number in 1/4 cup 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.
