Unless you're watching carbs or going gluten-free, sandwich bread is likely a part of your diet - whether it's a piece of toast or bagel in the morning or a sandwich for lunch or dinner. Most packaged sandwich bread on the shelf at the grocery store ranges from 130mg to 440 mg of sodium per slice, so not watching the label on these can have huge effects on your daily salt intake. I went on a search for a good tasting lower sodium sliced bread and the results are below. I tried six different brands that were available at my local grocery store here in Chicago: Generally, 5 out of 6 tasted pretty similar to each other. The biggest difference was texture and sweetness. Here are my notes on all six brands; all of the sodiums are per slice:
I prefer bread that is deep in flavor and a bit more dense, like the darker multi-grain breads from a bakery. So for me, Angelic Bakery's Low Sodium Sprouted 7 Whole Grains was the winner by far. This was the only bread thad had real multigrain flavor, wasn't sweet, and wasn't suspiciously soft.

These whole grain breads are of no use to people with kidney failure/ CKD due to too much phosphorus and potassium. CKD is one of the more common reasons why people require a low sodium diet. Need white breads or alternative grains.

You missed the clear winner in the low sodium breads…Ezekial Food for Life No Sodium Bread. Certainly not for anyone with kidney problems, but no sodium at all. Trader Joe’s English Muffins have 70mgs sodium per muffin. White bread and Whole Wheat.
