Is there a low sodium tomato paste?
Yes. 29 of the 31 tomato pastes here have 84 mg of sodium or less in 30 g. That is the federal line for the words “low sodium”: 140 mg in 50 g, because the rules test a food with a small serving on 50 g. They come from 19 brands; 6 of them have a tomato paste at 14 mg in 30 g, the lowest figure here.
The rest sit above the line: the next lowest has 103 mg in 30 g, and most tomato paste has 20 to 70 mg in a serving, 1% to 3% of the Daily Value.

No salt added tomato paste
One tomato paste here carries “no salt added”, “unsalted” or “low sodium” in the name:
- Hunt's Hunts No Salt Added Tomato Paste, 6 oz. Can 25mg per 2 tbsp (33 g) · 23 mg in 30 g
“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 tomato paste
“Salt free” is stricter. A package may say it only when the food is sodium free, under 5 mg. No tomato paste here is that low.

Questions about low sodium tomato paste
What is a low sodium tomato paste?
A tomato paste with 84 mg or less of sodium in 30 g, the amount federal labeling rules use to compare tomato pastes. That is 140 mg in 50 g: the rules test a food with a small serving on 50 g, and that is the line for the words “low sodium” on a package. “Very low sodium” is 21 mg or less in 30 g and “sodium free” is under 5 mg.
Is there a sodium free or no sodium tomato paste?
No. “Sodium free” and “no sodium” on a package both mean under 5 mg in 30 g and in the package's own serving. The lowest tomato paste here has 10 mg in a serving, on an older package.
Is there a reduced sodium tomato paste?
No tomato paste 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 tomato paste 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 30 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 30 g meets a federal level: low sodium (84 mg or less, which is 140 mg in 50 g), very low sodium (21 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.
