Do you find these products in your food store? I just checked a can of salmon and 1/4 cup is 240mg. We like a lot of BBQ'ed things and ketchup is out of sight. I also found a lot of the low fat things have a lot of salt. We don't use salt on the table or in our cooking and we eat very little packaged food but I was shocked how much salt is in ordinary everyday things we use.
