Salt vs Sodium (UK food labels)

Seffell

If I want to enter my own food in MFP how do I treat the Sodium/Potassium entries? On UK food labels the "salt" is given instead.

I think @yarwell is well versed on this?? Hopefully he'll see this and help you out.

UK / EU labels require salt, which is mandatory, leaving sodium as an option.

To convert from grams of salt to grams of sodium multiply by 0.4

To convert from sodium to salt multiply by 2.5

I use this online converter for both sodium to salt and salt to sodium
