What does 'Very Low Sodium' mean?

<=35 mg per day
<=25 mg per day
<=45 mg per day
<=30 mg per day

The correct answer is: <=35 mg per day

The term 'Very Low Sodium' is defined specifically in the context of food labeling. According to FDA regulations, a product labeled as 'Very Low Sodium' must contain 35 milligrams or less of sodium per serving. This standard is set to help consumers who need to restrict their sodium intake, often for health reasons such as hypertension or heart disease. In this case, the correct answer indicates that the sodium content must be 35 mg or less. This precise threshold is important for consistency in nutritional labeling and helps consumers make informed dietary choices. The other options do not meet this specific regulatory standard, making them incorrect in this context.
