Foods high in Sodium
Sodium controls fluid balance and lets nerves and muscles fire, and you need only a little of it. Most people eat well over the 2,300 mg limit, mostly from sauces, cured meats, cheese, bread and ready meals rather than the salt shaker. Too much over the years raises blood pressure. This list ranks the saltiest foods per 100 g so you can see where it hides.
