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

[GayleJames]

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.

1 medium carrot has about 42mg of sodium.

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