I just checked the bag of pecans I bought from Costco the other day. It contains 0 mg of sodium, so I did the calculations in my head...I'll bet that as a general rule, the less processed a food item it, the less sodium (and less sugar) it will contain.

I have had, over time, more issues with sodium depletion due to exertion, excessive sweating and high temperatures, than sodium excess. For a three day period, with exercise and exertion on the agenda, like DW, I would not worry too much about excessive salt consumption. The Hormel stuff is indeed way too much, however.
