Question

Milk and yogourt naturally contain a significant amount of sodium, and intake of these should be limited for clients on a diet that limits sodium to 2 g daily. Other milk products, such as processed cheeses, have very high levels of sodium and are not appropriate for a 2 g sodium diet. The other foods listed have minimal levels of sodium and can be eaten without restriction.
