Health experts agree that Australians consume far too much salt (sodium chloride) in their diet: most of that salt coming from the processed foods that we eat where it has been added as a preservative, a flavouring or both.

It is also considered to be a trigger of the vertigo associated with some vestibular (balance) disorders such as Meniere’s Disease. Finding low salt foods, especially processed and convenience foods, proved to be a real challenge. Some do appear in supermarkets but often after several months they are no longer stocked. Our online store takes the struggle out of the search for low sodium foods, especially the pantry basics. From the 17th October 2021, we went from being Low Sodium Foods’ customers to the owners of the business. As the new owners, we are committed to further developing the business and to continuing to offer the same friendly and efficient service Low Sodium Foods has always offered. We hope to make this a valuable site for everyone trying to adopt a low salt diet. Kim Coffey and Paul Dean
