The Amazing Ever Increasing List Of Low Sodium Vegan Foods: Part One

Here is a list of off-the-shelf vegan foods, most of which are low in sodium.  Most are based on less than 1 mg of sodium per calorie.  Some are higher than 1 mg sodium per calorie, but they are either far less than the regular sodium versions of the same product, or can be used as an ingredient in a low sodium recipe.  You should double check the ingredients and nutritional table before you buy, in case things have changed.

Bread
Stroehmann Dutch Country 100% Whole Wheat Bread: per slice = 90 Cal / 200 mg sodium *
Crackers
Ritz – Hint of Salt – Crackers:  per 5 crackers = 80 Cal / 35 mg Sodium
Noodles
Roland Organic 100% Organic Traditional Udon Noodles:  per 2 oz. serving = 190 Cal / 170 mg Sodium
Pizza Sauce
Furmano’s Original Pizza Sauce wit Sea Salt: per 1/4 cup serving = 25 Cal / 80 mg Sodium

Note *: Not low sodium, but can be part of a low sodium recipe.
Some of these may be local brands in the greater Philadelphia area, but there should be equivalents in your area.
