I'll just read labels and worry about it then. :-)

Looks like they are making an effort but I wonder how they TASTE!

Campbell's substitutes Potassium Chloride in their Low Sodium V-8 and
that stuff actually tastes really good...

but the price is assinine and not very affordable. If it was the same
price or close to their regular price at least, it'd be a regular part
of my diet. I LOVE low sodium V-8 but cannot afford it!

It is made by Campbell's.


Using a pressure cooker, stock is too easy to make. I've not purchased
canned or cubed stock/broth in a very long time, but I have freezer
space to spare...

Hell, I've ended up with extra stock to give away! Lynn is always happy
to accept it.

I've been eating low sodium for so long now, I've become rather
sensitive to salt. It's a real pain if I try to eat at "chain"
restaurants such as Olive Garden and that ilk.

<sigh>

Now I need to learn to make my own low sodium V-8 affordably. <g>
