Sodium?

I'm in the UK at the moment, and all the food labels don't contain Sodium on the Nutritional labelling area.

Is sodium salt (we use 'g' here, instead of 'mg'), or something else?

    Salt contains sodium.

    There are 1000mg in a g.

    Here is a handy converter to find out how much sodium is in the salt content.

    Just convert it. Some do contain the sodium amount it depends on the label. It's very easy to convert. GOOGLE

    Sodium is 23 / 58.4 multiplied by the weight of salt.
