Hi,

I don't know if this is an issue only with the user added Romanian products or if it's widespread, but for the love of God, people, please stop adding the SALT on the label as SODIUM.

It's not the same thing! If a product has 3.1g salt, they make the conversion and add 3100mg of sodium wich effs up the whole thing

Thank you!

PS: MFP could add salt as nutrient.

    It's probably not just Romanians. I still correct UK-logged entries if I come across them. I've got a salt-to-sodium conversion website saved on every laptop / PC that I use, although these days I use it less as I've corrected all the entries I use regularly. I guess US nutrition info uses sodium, hence MFP (only) has that as a nutrient. I believe most of Europe is consistent on such things, so we probably all see salt on our labels.

    It's not just Romania, it's a European thing I think, I've seen it for Belgian foods as well.

    Well, if you guys say it's an European thing, I'll shoot a request to MFP. Maybe they'll add the ingredients we can actually find on our labels.
