Question: 1 / 400

For OTC labeling, what amount of sodium qualifies a product as "sodium-free"?

≤5 mg

The correct answer is that a product qualifies as "sodium-free" if it contains 5 mg or less of sodium per serving. This definition is established by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to help consumers make informed dietary choices, particularly individuals who need to monitor their sodium intake for health reasons, such as those with hypertension or heart issues.

By labeling a product as "sodium-free" when it contains 5 mg or less, manufacturers provide clarity and assistance for consumers in making healthier choices. Other thresholds mentioned in the available options, such as 20 mg, 35 mg, and 140 mg, do not meet the specific criteria set forth by the FDA for sodium-free labeling and therefore do not qualify under this designation.
