Tomato paste in the US often has salt added to it. I think the Contadina
brand has the lowest sodium of the brands in this area. You might
compare labels.

Try to find anything that doesn't have salt added to it...

Some mozzarella here is good and some is awful, you'll have to find a
brand you like.

You might also check the meats you use.
