FAQ
Types of breads like crumpets and bagels, pasta sauces, pizzas, breakfast cereals, soups, cheeses and sausages can all contain high levels of salt. By reading the labels and making choices between different brands you can find lower salt alternatives without missing out on your favourite things.
The recommended daily salt intake for adults is less than 6 grams of salt per day. 6 grams of salt is about one level teaspoon. Children should eat less salt than adults.
Americans eat on average about 3,400 mg of sodium per day. However, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends adults limit sodium intake to less than 2,300 mg per day—that's equal to about 1 teaspoon of table salt! For children under age 14, recommended limits are even lower.
Foods High in Sodium
- Table salt (1 teaspoon provides about 2,000 mg of sodium)
- Seasonings that contain salt (examples: celery salt, garlic salt, onion salt, season-all, “lite salt”)
- Sauerkraut or other vegetables prepared in brine (pickled)
- Regular canned soups.
- Breads and rolls with salted toppings.
Unrefined options such as sea salt, Himalayan, Celtic, and Kosher might contain slightly less sodium and more trace minerals than table salt, but the difference between these unrefined types is so small that there is little reason to choose one over the other from a health perspective.
