Salty Foods to Avoid

Some salty foods, like pretzels, are easy to leave out. Anyone that is trying to take sodium out of their diet must know the top salty foods to avoid.

  1. Bacon

    • Bacon has long been known as a salty food that is high in sodium. One 3.5-oz. serving will have over 1000 mg of sodium.

    Potato Chips

    • Regular potato chips are incredibly salty, and should be avoided by those who are trying to control their sodium. One 8-oz. bag of chips has 50 percent of your daily amount of sodium (1192 mg).

    Ketchup

    • Ketchup has a lot of added salt, making it another food to be avoided. One 3.5-oz. serving of ketchup has 1024 mg of sodium.

    Soup

    • There is a lot of salt in any canned soup available on the market. One serving of Campbell's classic condensed chicken noodle soup (half of a cup of soup) has 890 mg of sodium. This is 37 percent of your daily allowance.

    Hot Dogs

    • One beef hot dog has more salt than many realize. There are 600 mg of sodium in one hot dog. This is 25 percent of your daily allowance of sodium.
