Canned Goods are in general not a good idea for anyone on a low sodium diet. If you do a random shelf check in the canned aisle of any supermarket, you will likely be depressed. Canned Goods have a ton of sodium in them -- even in non-obvious items, like corn and beans. There are some canned items that come in "Low Sodium" or "Reduced Sodium" counterparts. Even though these products are lower than regular canned products, they are still not all that low. The only canned goods that would be a good substitute are the ones labelled "No Salt Added." Check out how to read nutrition labels to learn more about the differences between these marketing labels.
An exception to this canned goods rule are canned fruits. Canned fruits are generally very low in sodium. The only problem with them is that they are generally very high in sugar. So if you need to maintain a low sodium diet, but don't have to be as stringent on your sugar intake, canned fruit can be a bonanza for you.
Luckily, there are a few canned vegetable products out there that are "No Salt Added." You will need to look carefully. They are often easy to miss on the shelf and are generally only available for a few select products. Local supermarkets sometimes have store brands with the No Salt Added designation. Be on the lookout for those. Not only are they No Salt Added, but they are also cheaper. Some name brands, like Green Giant, have some as well. I generally have more luck with the local supermarket brands.
Below are some of the low sodium canned fruit and vegetable products that I have come across. I would love to hear about ones that you have found!
