Lowest sodium: canned meal, ranked

Eaten by the whole can, this shelf delivers 1,200 to 2,000 mg of sodium at the top end, most of a day's target. The spread between brands is wide enough to matter every single time. Lowest first.
Method. Sodium per 100 g from the verified dataset. A can is 400 g and usually eaten whole, so multiply by four. Covers the 91 on-shelf products with this
