Which use of a food label is most important in a low-sodium diet?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Identifying sodium content and hidden sources
In a low-sodium diet, the label should be checked for sodium per serving, serving size, and ingredients that indicate hidden sodium, such as salt, sodium bicarbonate, monosodium glutamate, or sodium-based preservatives. Calories and dates can also matter, but sodium information directly addresses the therapeutic restriction.
