Food labels and nutrition facts: What do they really mean?
Front-of-package: Organic. Nutrition Facts panel: Sodium = 680 mg
Sodium amounts are often high in canned soup, including this one, despite the fact that it’s organic. Look for soup that’s “light in sodium,” which means 50 percent less sodium than usual, or “reduced sodium,” which means at least 25 percent less sodium than usual. A reasonable limit is 480 mg of sodium per cup of soup.
