The dietitian stressed the importance of checking the labels for the
nutrients list. There are a number of "blue menu" products with little
or no salt. The amount of salt varies a lot for the same products from
different companies. When I was stocking up on beans last week I found
that those being billed as organic had the highest salt content.
