About the Lower Sodium Product Guide

What You'll Find

The Lower Sodium Product Guide focuses on products that can be surprisingly difficult to discover through a typical grocery search.

You'll find things like:

• Lower sodium sauces, dressings, and condiments

• Specialty seasonings and spice blends

• Bread, snacks, frozen foods, and convenience items

• Lesser-known brands and products that don't always advertise themselves as "low sodium"

• Products we've researched that may help make a lower sodium lifestyle a little easier

What You Won't Find

To keep the guide focused and useful, some foods aren't included—not because they aren't great choices, but because they're already easy to find.

For example, you generally won't find:

• Fresh fruits and vegetables

• Plain, unseasoned meats and seafood

• Common pantry staples that are naturally low in sodium, such as flour and sugar

• No salt added canned vegetables and other products that are widely available and easy to identify

Instead, the guide focuses on the products that often require a little more searching.

How Products Are Chosen

Every product in this guide was selected because it may be helpful to someone following a lower sodium lifestyle. Inclusion in the guide isn't an endorsement or recommendation. Its purpose is simply to help you discover products you might not have found otherwise.

More Than Just Lower Sodium

While the Product Guide is built around lower sodium options, many products also include additional dietary labels provided by the manufacturer.

When available, you'll find information such as:

• Gluten-free

• Vegan

• Vegetarian

• Kosher

• Halal

• Organic

• Non-GMO

• And other dietary preferences or certifications

Many people are balancing more than one dietary need. By including this information whenever it's available, I hope the guide makes it a little easier to find products that fit your unique situation.
