I wonder if salt actually permeates the product? Could you rinse it
and wash off most of the salt?

I'm thinking Dennisons or Hormel chili is what they were talking
about...

Are we talking about peppers or dogfood?

Either way, I think salt is the least dangerous preservative those
people use.

OP - canned peppers if you must, but please don't even feed Hormel
chile con whatever to your dog.

And there is always fresh frozen.

For grins, I went to http://www.lowsodiumcooking.com/

and on their front page they state:

"A can of chili may contain 2400 mg all by itself; homemade chili may
contain less than 100 mg"

Interesting in their bullet-point items they should mention chili.

Is there some reason why you don't make your own and then freeze
portions for later use?

There isn't a canned chili out there (beans or no) that tastes half as
good as what I can make. It's so damned easy, too.

Just sayin' ...

Just no interest

version

Or perhaps time and relax, I won't beat ya up about that ;-) Sometimes a
can is just the right thing to have handy.

> would rather buy it pre-made IF can find lower sodium version

This is going to depend on how low you need it. If your Doctor has
recommended low sodium, they should have also told you a target range to aim
for. You are in luk though as if it isnt too restrictive, it is possible to
fit in some canned types. If you are told 1,000 mg a day, it's workable.

I am sorry that I'm out just now so can't check the label but scanning the
labels one of the higher end *looking* ones has a series of 3 types that can
be worked in. Since I'm out, I can't look for the brand name in my kitchen
but I recall one of them is named something like 'western steak chili'? I
think a common name producer like Cambells, Hormel, or such who does alot of
canned foods.

Watch the portion control part. Don (somewhat sodium restricted, 1500 MG
max) can have 1/2 can (1 can is listed as 2 servings) and i think that was
about 750mg or half his day's alotment. He just has to watch the rest of
the days intake a bit but this way, he can still have his chili at times.

BTW, if you are new to the low-sodium bit, you are gonna get a suprize
reading labels. Don't assume the lesser known product is a bad one.
Pastene's crushed tomatoes for example don't have a 'low sodium' label' but
are quite low and taste even better than Contadina (Contadina brand is lower
on most things than hunts or del monte and taste better too). Don't assume
the 'low sodium' label' means that item is actually lower than another brand
one the same shelf. Soy sauces are particularily to be noted for that.
Kikkoman lite has almost twice the sodium of Datu Puti brand for example,
and the Datu Puti tastes better ;-)

Well, then, you're out of luck. I love chili, am on a low-sodium diet, and
haven't found a one.
So, I make it myself.

If you can find it, consider yourself lucky. I know you were looking
for premade, but you can make a shitload (bigger than a buttload) and
freeze it with ingredients that make you happy...

Dang, man! A handful of hamburger, a can of RoTel tomatoes and . You
can get garlic powder and cumin and pepper flakes at the dollar
store. Real fresh peppers aren't hard to find. Do it in the
microwave in five minutes.

It will be a start.

You need to eat everyday. You need to cook. Ain't that hard - there
are a buncha idiots on this list that do a great job.

The OP chooses not to cook the chile dish. An alternative source was
provided.
