About this food

Oil (Condiments & Oils). Sodium varies hugely across condiments and oils - soy sauce and sauces are sodium-dense while most plant oils are nearly sodium-free. Swapping salty sauces for oils is a practical sodium trick. This is the same lens used for similar items.

Nutrient insight

Phosphorus leads at <1%. In CKD, track phosphorus intake and factor in the source (Processed additive (highest absorption)) to judge the true burden.
