Instant Pudding
Pudding doesn’t taste salty, but there’s plenty of sodium hiding in instant pudding mix. This sodium is from salt and sodium-containing additives — disodium phosphate and tetrasodium pyrophosphate — used to help thicken instant pudding.
A 25-gram portion of instant vanilla pudding mix — used to make a 1/2-cup serving — has 350 mg of sodium, or 15% of the RDI. In contrast, the same amount of regular vanilla pudding mix contains only 135 mg of sodium, or 6% of the RDI.
