25 Surprisingly Salty Processed Foods part 2

Heinz Ketchup

Sodium: 190 mg

Serving: 1 tbsp (15 calories)

If you love ketchup on everything from eggs to burgers, be aware that the condiment’s sodium content is not negligible.

Two tablespoons of this ketchup has approximately the same amount of sodium as 2 ounces of salted peanuts or potato chips—roughly 16% of your sodium daily intake.

Kraft Singles

Sodium: 277 mg

Serving: 1 slice (62 calories)

Whip up a grilled cheese sandwich with two Kraft singles and two slices of white bread (Arnold Country White Bread contains 180 milligrams per slice), and you could be consuming close to 1,000 milligrams of sodium.

Pepperidge Farm Pumpernickel Bread

Sodium: 190 mg

Serving: 1 slice (80 calories)

Even if you don’t add any meat, cheese, or condiments, two slices of this pumpernickel bread will cost you 380 milligrams of sodium, or 15% of your daily total.

V8 Spicy Hot Vegetable Juice

Sodium: 480 mg

Serving: 8 ounces (50 calories)

One serving of this juice has more than 100% of your daily vitamin C, and 20% of your daily sodium. Opt for the low-sodium version to get one-third the amount of salt.

Green Giant Canned Mushrooms

Sodium: 440 mg

Serving: 1/2 cup (25 calories)

Vegetables are supposed to be your friends, but with 440 milligrams of sodium per serving, it is best to rethink these canned veggies. Instead, choose fresh or frozen, which contain 30 milligrams or less per serving.

Perdue Short Cuts Carved Chicken Breast, Southwestern Style Cooked Chicken Strips

Sodium: 460 mg

Serving: 1/2 cup (about a third of the box); 90 calories

Four ounces of uncooked chicken breast contains 45 milligrams of sodium, so if you’re craving Southwestern-style chicken, it’s better to make your own than to eat this precooked variety.
