Campbell Soup Cuts Sodium in Kid's Soup

Do you read the labels on the soup cans before you buy them? I try to check all labels on everything because it seems like salt is used to a great extent to preserve the contents of most of our foods. The Campbell Soup Co.'s kid-oriented soups, which feature characters such as Dora the Explorer and Batman on the cans, are getting their second sodium reduction in three years, according to the company. Now the 12 soups for kids will have 480 milligrams of salt per serving, which means the company can legally label them as healthful foods for the first time. That's kind of scary to think that we and our kids have been eating our favorite soup, "Campbell", and it had so much salt in them. All this time I thought they were good healthy soups. I am really glad that they will now really be down to heart-healthy levels.
