About this food
Salami belongs to the Meat & Protein category. Animal proteins tend to be higher in phosphorus, and animal phosphorus absorbs at 60-80% versus 30-50% for plants. Choosing low-phosphorus proteins such as egg whites or tofu, or controlling portions of red meat, is a common CKD approach.
Nutrient insight
From the sodium angle (88%), Salami must fit inside your daily sodium budget.
