Does tv dinners have too much salt?

TV dinners often have high levels of sodium (salt).

A single serving of a frozen dinner can contain nearly 1,000mg of sodium and some can exceed 2,000mg. The recommended daily intake is around 2,300mg according to the American Heart Association (AHA).

Excessive levels of sodium consumption can cause several health problems like high blood pressure, leading to serious issues like stroke and heart disease. Therefore, it is best to limit processed food and opt for low-sodium alternatives with fresh food as much as possible.
