Can't find sodium content of a product?

Hi,

As some of you know, the Department of Agriculture has an extensive database of nutrition content for food products sold in the U.S. I would like to share with you the link to this database so you can check the sodium content of the food products you are curious about. This way you don't have to run to the grocery store to check nutrition labels :-)

Here is the link:
http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/

Also at the same site, there is a big (25 pages) list of products with their sodium content. A very useful source for people that are on strict low sodium diet:

The same file in alphabetical order:

Enjoy!
