Low Sodium Deli Meats

Low Sodium Deli Meat

Deli meats are not good for you when on a low sodium diet, they are full of gluten, antibiotic residues, preservatives and sugar.

Deli meats can include leftover organs and scraps, which are then cured with starch, salt, corn syrup and preservatives like nitrates. Nitrates make the meat last longer because they kill bacteria and give deli meats their color.

Try and avoid deli meats but if you must have them in your sandwich here are the Top 5 Low Sodium Deli Meats you can choose from:

1. Boar’s Head Ovengold® Roasted Turkey Breast – Skinless

2. Applegate Naturals® Smoked Turkey Breast

3. Oscar Mayer Deli Fresh Lower Sodium Rotisserie Chicken Breast

4. Boar's Head Simplicity® All Natural* Cap-Off Top Round Oven Roasted Beef

5. Land O'Frost Simply Delicious Hickory Smoked Ham.

Tips:

It’s important to pay attention to three main areas: food labels, food handlers, and the deli counter environment.

To get the freshest slices ask the deli counter attendant to save the first slice for their pre-made sandwiches and foods or ask to taste-test the first slice instead.

If you are getting a sandwich made for you ask for your sandwich to be made fresh in front of you and you’ll be able to control what goes into your order.
