    Here you go the kingsmill website with nutritional details. 1 slice has about 1/2 a gram of salt in it

    I havent heard of it, but I would do more checking if I were you and if it is that high I would change. That seems crazy high! good luck!

    0.5 gram is 500 mg of sodium NOT 5,000! You're just off by a factor of 10. This makes a lot more sense.

    It does rather illustrate the problem with duplicate items in the MFP database.

    There are 3 different versions of Kingsmill Really Seeded:

    Version 1: 118 cals, 0g sodium, 16g carbs, 3g fat.

    Hmmmm, no sodium? Seems unlikely.

    Version 2: 105 cals, 12mg sodium, 15g carbs, 3g fat.

    Seems more reasonable.

    Version 3 (called "really seedy") 118 cals, 2400mg sodium, 16g carbs, 3g fat

    This looks like the source of the OP's problem! And obviously needs correcting (I'll copy this to the Technical section)

    The Kingsmill website says 105 cals, 14.6g carbs, 2.8g fat, and.......0.12g sodium. Looks very like our version 2 above.

    .12 grams = 120 milligrams, not 12
