Miscellaneous Dietary Foods
Low-Sodium – Less Salt
On average, we consume 10 grams of salt per day. Our bodies only need 1–3 grams of salt (400–1,200 mg of sodium) per day. So we consume five times as much salt as our bodies need.
Legal claims:
- Low in sodium or low in salt = less than 0.3 grams of salt per 100 grams.
- Very low sodium or salt content = less than 0.1 grams of salt per 100 grams.
- Sodium-free or salt-free = less than 0.0125 grams of salt per 100 grams.
- No sodium / salt added = no salt has been added; the product contains no more than 0.3 grams of salt per 100 grams.

Vegetarianism is a diet in which one does not eat meat (including poultry), fish, shellfish, or insects, or foods that contain these ingredients.
Byproducts of slaughtered animals, such as animal rennet and gelatin, are also excluded from the diet. Vegetarian rennet is permitted, however, and this is indicated on the label. Instead of meat and fish, people eat plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, and nuts, sometimes supplemented with vegetarian animal products such as dairy, honey, and eggs.
Low-protein – Protein-restricted
Proteins are important for our body’s cells and are therefore essential nutrients. Fortunately, we get proteins every day through our diet. Disorders in protein metabolism cause symptoms such as nausea, headaches, and fatigue. Following a protein-restricted or low-protein diet is necessary and helps prevent complications.
Bread, potatoes, and vegetables contain very little protein. Foods that contain no protein include tea, coffee, lemonade syrup, honey, oil, sugar, jam, and fruit. Protein-rich foods include meat, fish, poultry, dairy products, legumes, …
