Is there a low sodium ramen?
Not among these 79. None has 140 mg of sodium or less in the whole package: the federal line for the words “low sodium”, counted here on all of the package.
No ramen here comes near the line: the lowest has 370 mg in the whole package, and most ramen has 700 to 1,710 mg in the whole package, 30% to 74% of the Daily Value.

- Lotus Foods Buckwheat Shiitake Rice Ramen Mushroom Soup 370mg per 40 g · 370 mg in the whole package
- Kellogg's Instant Noodles 503mg per 70 g · 503 mg in the whole package

No salt added ramen
No ramen 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 ramen
“Salt free” is stricter. A package may say it only when the food is sodium free, under 5 mg. No ramen here is that low.
Questions about low sodium ramen
What is a low sodium ramen?
A ramen with 140 mg or less of sodium in the whole package. The line for the words “low sodium” on a package is on one serving, which federal labeling rules set as the amount that makes 245 g once prepared; this list holds every package to it whole, also where the label serves a part of it. “Very low sodium” is 35 mg or less and “sodium free” is under 5 mg.
Is there a sodium free or no sodium ramen?
No. “Sodium free” and “no sodium” on a package both mean under 5 mg in the whole package. The lowest ramen here has 50 mg in the whole package, on an older package.
Is there a reduced sodium ramen?
2 of the ramen products here carry “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 ramen 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 the whole package: what the package holds when all of it is eaten. A label that serves a part of the package is counted for all of it, and its row says how many servings that is.
Level: a green tag means the number in the whole package 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.
