Low Sodium List: changes made to the Open Food Facts database

This site contains information from Open Food Facts (https://openfoodfacts.org), which is made available under the Open Database License (https://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1-0/).

Starting from the full Open Food Facts export as of November 12, 2026:

1. Kept the products tagged as sold in the United States whose names fit one of the foods listed on this site.
2. Left out products with no sodium value or no serving size, products Open Food Facts flags for data errors, products that fewer than two people scanned, scanned products whose sodium would be very low while the name does not say so, food service and case packs, dry mixes whose label describes the cooked dish, and labels whose serving is far from the amount the food is compared on.
3. Worked out sodium per serving, and per the amount federal labeling rules use to compare the food, from the sodium per 100 g and the serving size. Dry mixes and powders are compared on the label's own serving, ramen on the whole package, and frozen meals on 100 g.
4. Where USDA FoodData Central has the same barcode, used the USDA label for the numbers.
