Lowest-Sodium Fast Food Options
Fast food is notoriously salty — and the FDA’s “low sodium” label means 140mg or less per serving, a bar almost nothing at the drive-thru actually clears. So rather than pretend, we ranked the lowest-sodium real meals across 31 chains: every pick is 600mg or less, sorted from least salty up, so you can see how close each gets to a genuinely low-sodium target.
How we ranked these: Every item is scored by the Nom Score, which weighs sodium, saturated fat, sugar, portion size, fiber, and protein per calorie against FDA daily-value guidance. Data comes from official restaurant nutrition information.
