The majority of salt consumed in the Australian diet comes from processed and packaged foods, not from salt added at the table or during cooking. Food does not have to taste salty to have a high-salt content. For example, sweet biscuits can be high in sodium because of the sodium bicarbonate (baking powder) in them — not from added salt. These foods are typically high in sodium: packaged and processed 'ready meals' potato crisps and salty snack foods processed meats and meat products, such as ham, sausages, bacon, meat pies, sausage rolls and chicken nuggets burgers and pizza cheese yeast spread (such as Vegemite) certain sauces, spreads and condiments, such as soy or fish sauce Effervescent, soluble pain-relief medicines and vitamin supplements — those that fizz when you dissolve them in water — may contain high levels of sodium. Check the packet or Consumer Medicines Information leaflet for the sodium content if you take these regularly. Some of these soluble pain-relief medicines may contain more than 400mg of sodium per tablet.
