Why is the sodium count so high if i am not adding salt

Carrots cooked (400+g of sodium) really? I don't add salt but my sodium counts are very high, i eat veggies like carrots and spinach and chard and caulflower how is it possible and just 1 slice of bacon in the morning. Also not adding salt to meat

Not sure, but there have been a number of folks pointing out that the sodium counts are very inaccurate. Hopefully we will get corrections soon.

Seems like the nutritional values for "cooked" foods assume that you are adding salt and fat.
