Slide 1 of 5

Shake the salt

Even if you don’t add salt to food, you may still be eating more than the recommended daily limit for sodium—between 1,500 and 2,300 milligrams. According to Statistics Canada, those who add salt to meals eat about 3,400 milligrams of sodium daily, and those who don’t still get 2,900 milligrams. (One teaspoon [5 mL] of salt has 2,325 milligrams.) Why? Sodium is added to many processed foods. So we scoured the grocery store comparing Nutrition Labels to find lower-sodium options.
