Most of us eat far too much salt — in fact, one and a half times the recommended maximum daily sodium intake of 2300mg.
There is strong evidence that excess sodium in our diet raises blood pressure and increases our risk of heart disease and stroke. Most of the sodium in our diet comes from processed foods rather than from salt we add ourselves, so choosing lower-sodium packaged foods is important.
Here are a few of our picks. Any product examples given here are correct at time of publication. However, remember to check the ingredients and nutrition information every so often, as these can change over time.
