Salt-aware shopping: compare the actual label
A package can look healthy while still adding substantial salt to a meal.
Three practical points
- Compare the salt or sodium information using the same serving size or amount.
- Think about the full meal, including sauces and condiments, rather than judging one ingredient alone.
- Choose a realistic swap and keep the label if you want a dietitian or clinician to review it.
In the Philippines, contact your usual health center, pharmacist or appropriate clinician for individual advice. Service availability and fees vary; ask the provider directly.
