Why is reading labels useful in a sodium-modified diet?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: To identify hidden sodium sources
Nutrition labels help identify sodium listed directly as salt and indirectly through ingredients or additives such as sodium bicarbonate, sodium benzoate, or seasoning mixtures. Comparing products and checking serving size can reduce hidden sodium intake. This is especially useful when managing hypertension, fluid retention, or a prescribed sodium-restricted diet.
