Is it really so high?

I log 200mls of cravendale semi skimmed a day fr my tea consumption & it shows 800mg of sodium. I just can't see how there is that much.

Anyone know why or if this is wrong?

    recheck it on the nutrion label of your milk and compare with MFP.

    Is cravendale not filtered milk? Is this not another word for processed?
    Also Sodium gives products a longer life.....is this why you can keep cravendale for 7 days.

    That doesn't sound right. I drink 1/4 a cup of 1% milk w/my cereal in the morning and it has 38mgs.

    Just googled the lable on the cravendale semi skimmed & it is def wrong on the MP food library

    NutritionTypical Values Typical values per 200ml -
    Energy 413kJ/98kcal -
    Protein 7.2g -
    Carbohydrate 9.7g -
    of which sugars 9.7g -
    Fat 3.4g -
    of which saturates 2.0g -
    Fibre nil -
    Sodium 0.09g -
    equivalent as salt 0.2g -
    Calcium 247mg (30.9% RDA)

    Looks like it is being calculated 100% higher than it actually is :explode:

    There are 3 different options to chose when I look it up & all 3 are different.

    think I will just create my own one from the label posted, no wonder my sodium is always over daily!!!
