No salt added rice mixes
2 rice mixes here carry “no salt added”, “unsalted” or “low sodium” in the name:
- Vigo Low Sodium Saffron Yellow Rice 45mg per 56 g · older package
- Goya Low Sodium Rice & Red Beans 135mg per 45 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 rice mixes
“Salt free” is stricter. A package may say it only when the food is sodium free, under 5 mg. None of the rice mixes here is that low.
Questions about low sodium rice mixes
What are low sodium rice mixes?
Rice mixes with 140 mg or less of sodium in one serving as the package sizes it, which federal labeling rules set as the amount that makes 1 cup once prepared. 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.
Are there sodium free or no sodium rice mixes?
No. “Sodium free” and “no sodium” on a package both mean under 5 mg in a serving. The lowest here has 7 mg in a serving, on an older package.
Are there reduced sodium rice mixes?
5 of the rice mixes 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 reduced sodium rice mixes 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.
Level: a green tag means the number in a serving 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.
