Because it is prepared food, I was concerned about the sodium because even the soups are high. I checked the nutrition label on the tomato basil one, and it has 1000mgs of sodium in it – that’s a whole gram!!! I did a little research and to put that in perspective an adult in good health should have no more than 3 grams of sodium per day, a 10 year old should have only 2 grams of sodium per day, and a child age 1-3 should have no more than .8 grams of sodium per day (that’s less salt than what’s in the package of pasta!). Since salt is in virtually everything we eat, and drink (yes even water has salt in it), it adds up quickly. <i>i've deleted a whole bunch of extraneous info on recommended sodium consumption. interested readers can look it up on their own. - laloca</i> I say we boycott the companies that are killing us and our kids. -Valerie Caron Educated Consumer and Mom of 3 My daughter asked me to get some of those Bistro meal packets she had at a grandparent’s house.
