Why should canned soup be taken carefully in a low-sodium diet?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It may contain a high amount of sodium
Commercial canned soups may contain substantial salt or other sodium-containing ingredients for flavour, processing, or preservation. A serving can therefore use a significant part of the daily sodium allowance for a person following sodium restriction. The label should be checked for sodium per serving and serving size, and lower-sodium or homemade alternatives may be selected when suitable. Calories are not the main reason for this specific restriction.
