Tesco Everyday Salmon trimmings - high sodium

jc1961AA

I buy them once in a while, tonight I was in a rush and could not prepare a normal meal, so I took a whole 120gr pack of smoked salmon, to my amazement, the sodium reading came to 4,200! Which takes my daily sodium way past the normal limit. I thought that fish was good for you, and did not realise the high sodium content. Shall I drop that from the menu?

No need to exclude this product from your menu.

"Tesco Everyday Value Smoked Salmon Trimmings 120G" contains 1.4g of sodium per 100g of product. A 120g pack would therefore contain 1.68g/1680mg.

If you are still concerned about the sodium level I would choose salmon from Tesco's range that is not smoked as it contains considerably less sodium (approx. 0.1g per 100g).

Hope that helps

Thanks for the info, I will look at the labels next time I go shopping. I just thought that fish was ok and never really looked at the sodium bit

I hope you don't mind but I had a quick look at your diary and the database listing you used for the salmon contained incorrect information for sodium which is why it is showing so high.

I have corrected the listing on the database if you want to re-enter it into your diary. I would search for 'Tesco Everyday Smoked Salmon Trimmings' and put 1.2 into the 'Servings' box.

Fish is not the enemy

Thanks a million, that's much better. Did not think checking the data, I assumed that everything on the database is correct
