Food labels in Australia must list total sodium content. This includes naturally occurring sodium, sodium from food additives and sodium from added salt. They all count towards your daily sodium allowance. The labels must also record all salt and sodium-containing additives in the ingredients list. See the nutrition information panel on the packaging for the: total amount of sodium you are consuming in the ‘per serve’ column amount of sodium 'per 100g', which helps you compare the sodium content of similar foods Australian nutrition experts recommend foods with less than 400mg sodium per 100g; less than 120mg per 100g is better. Foods labelled ‘low salt’ have less than 120mg sodium per 100g. These ingredients may indicate high sodium: baking powder, celery salt, garlic salt, onion salt, meat or yeast extract, MSG (monosodium glutamate), rock salt, sea salt, sodium bicarbonate, sodium nitrate, vegetable salt and stock cubes. Sodium from any source, not just salt, may carry health risks if overconsumed.
