Measurement of Sodium Per Serve
Everyone’s salt requirements on a low-salt diet will differ and you will need to refer to the nutritional label to compare products/ meals. Be wary of the per serving and per 100g/ml columns on labels. A product can only be classified as ‘low sodium’ if it contains 120 mg per 100g.
If you are needing to keep track of your intakes you can track these on a food diary or a dietary intake app such as My Fitness Pal.
Quality & Taste
Freshness and quality of ingredients is essential when choosing a meal delivery service. Those adjusting to a low-salt diet may find meals are lacking in flavour, so it’s important to choose meals/providers that utilise fresh ingredients including herbs and spices to maximise flavour.
Look into the brands details to see if they are designed by Nutritionists, Dieticians or accredited health professionals to ensure you are choosing meals that are not only tasty but are nutritionally sound.
Financial value per meal

Availability
Currently, there are not many meal services dedicated to providing low-salt meals. Ensure you look online at your chosen provider to check their delivery areas.
It may be helpful to source a local cook, café/restaurant that may organise home-cooked meals locally if you struggle to find availability in your area.
