Sodium
Given that the serving size is only one tablespoon, there is a fairly high amount of sodium in each serving. The reason I have that opinion is because whenever I eat chips and cheese, or add some flavoring sauce to salads or tacos, I inevitably use more than one tablespoon.
But, I digress, so rather than boast about my opinions, let’s refer to specific data. One serving of Toppers Avocado Lime sauce contains 105 milligrams of sodium. That’s about 5% of the recommended daily value. How many tablespoons do you consume with each meal?

What is Calcium Disodium EDTA?
This odorless crystalline powder has a slight salty flavor. As a food additive, it’s used to preserve flavor, color and texture, and to increase the shelf life of foods. It binds to metals to prevent discoloration or a reduction in flavor.
Calcium Disodium EDTA is often found in sauces and salad dressings, mayonnaise, canned carbonated soft drinks, canned vegetables, and pickled vegetables.
