What types of foods should I avoid to help me stay within the daily recommended sodium intake?

Text Size:

Cured foods such as bacon and ham; foods packed in salty brine such as pickles, olives, and sauerkraut; and condiments such as mustard, ketchup, and barbecue sauce can be significant sources of sodium and should be eaten in small amounts only. Low-salt or low-sodium versions of canned vegetables, soy sauce, broth, and seasoning mixes substitute nicely for the full-salt versions, but read the labels: Some of these are still fairly high in sodium.
