How it works

  1. 11 g salt = 400 mg sodium
  2. 2Salt = 600 mg ÷ 400 = 1.5 g
  3. 3NRV% = 600 mg ÷ 2000 mg × 100% = 30%

Reading the label (GB 28050)

Per 100 g solid: sodium ≥600 mg = high (limit it), 120–600 mg = mid, ≤120 mg = low (prefer). For liquids the thresholds are 300 / 120 mg per 100 ml. Sodium NRV% above 30% per serving suggests a salty food.

WHO advises adults to keep sodium under 2000 mg/day (= 5 g salt); the Chinese Nutrition Society suggests 1500 mg (3.75 g) for extra benefit. Hidden sodium lurks in soy sauce, pickles, ham, instant noodles, soda crackers and even sweet snacks — check the sodium line on the nutrition facts panel, not just the salt you spoon out.
