Distinguish no added salt from the total amount
A meal with no added salt can still contain salt from its ingredients. Compare the amount stated for the whole serving and any included condiments. If you have been prescribed a limit, communicate the precise requirement to the service and discuss suitability with your health professional. The menu’s name alone cannot establish whether a particular preparation meets that requirement.
Examine every element of the complete menu
Soup, bread, cheese and sauce can accompany the main course and change the total meal. Request information for the full selection, then ask about removing optional additions without improvising a diet. Delivery services offering adapted menus can explain their methods and menu rotation. An initial conversation helps identify which recipes are actually available within the local service area.
