Who would think there would be this big difference in sodium in basic things such as mustard and mayo? The low-fat mayo being like 3 times the amount of sodium than the original?? Amazing. I've also learned that there's a wide span for the amount of sodium in just basic frozen vegetables and also frozen seafood. The HEB brand is actually the lowest. So when you have the exact same vegetables in the bag, why would anyone choose the one with the most salt?
Now before anything makes it into the cart -- the label gets read and compared with similar products.
I wish it was only this easy in going out to eat at local restaurants. I've run into dead ends in my on-line search for nutritional information. Plus I've not received any response my initial emails and admit I'm really disappointed. I need to find time to reach out again to additional places such as Eastside Cafe and Mother's Cafe.
Life is so different now... to protect my husband's health it is a must that we think about sodium before eating anything.
Honestly, I miss being able to just go out to eat to wherever we felt like eating... I know he does too.
So, that said... I'm not giving up on raising awareness on the importance of having this extremely important information available. I mean really, everyone needs to be more aware of what's in the food they eat and feed to their children and families.
