Can You Find The Food With The Most Sodium?

**FYI: The [recommended daily sodium intake](http://sodiumbreakup.heart.org/sodium-411/how-much-sodium-do-you-need/) is between 1,500 — 2,300 mg,** depending on your age and risk factors. That's only about 2/3 a teaspoon to 1 teaspoon of salt!   
But most Americans go way over that recommendation, because sodium is tricky AF and can be lurking in even not-so-salty foods — especially if they're highly processed, packaged, or prepared in a restaurant.   
Find out if you can spot the worst sodium culprit below!

One cup of [Breakstone's 2% Milkfat Small Curd Cottage Cheese](http://www.breakstones.com/product/cottage-cheese/) has 680 milligrams of sodium!

Nope, you're close but this does not have the most sodium!

One [Einstein Bros Everything Bagel](http://www.einsteinbros.com/images/docs/EBB_Nutrition.pdf) (without any schmear!) has a whopping 640 milligrams of sodium.

You're close — but this bagel does not have the most sodium!

Three Slices of [Oscar Meyer Hardwood Smoked Bacon](http://www.kraftrecipes.com/products/oscar-mayer-naturally-hardwood--1557.aspx) have only 390 milligrams of sodium!

Nope, not even close!

Nope, not the saltiest! Two slices of [Pepperidge Farm Dark Pumpernickel Bread](http://www.pepperidgefarm.com/ProductDetail.aspx?catID=753&prdID=11773) has 460 milligrams of sodium!

Nah, this does not have the most sodium!

One cup of prepared [Kraft Original Mac and Cheese](http://www.kraftmacandcheese.com/products/bluebox/original-cheese) has about 570 milligrams of sodium.

No, this may taste salty but it does not have the most sodium of the bunch!

One [Hebrew National Jumbo Beef Frank](http://www.hebrewnational.com/kosher-beef-products//jumbo-beef-franks-7495628300) has 770 milligrams of sodium! That's a lot, but there's something on here that's even higher.

You're close but nope, this doesn't have the most sodium!

One single [Vlasic Original Whole Dill Pickle](http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/calories/vlasic-kosher-dill-pickles-316414847) has about 888 milligrams of sodium. That's over half of a day's worth — yikes!

YES, YOU PICKED THE FOOD WITH THE MOST SODIUM!!!

Two [Reese's Peanut Butter Cups](https://www.hersheys.com/reeses/products/reeses-peanut-butter-cups/milk-chocolate.aspx) have only 150 milligrams of sodium!

Nah, this has the least sodium of the bunch!

One [Morning Star Farms Garden Veggie Burger](https://www.morningstarfarms.com/products/morningstar-farms-garden-veggie-patties-tasty-product.html) patty (without the bun and toppings) has only 350 milligrams of sodium!

Nope! This food has the second-lowest amount of sodium!
