Bring back sodium macro instead of only salt

5 votes

Where I am from (South Africa) all the products give a sodium value but hardly any of them give a salt value. There used to be a field for sodium, could you please bring that back

This is so needed for all users outside of Europe as sodium is the value used on the package and unless you convert sodium to salt with a converter, you can’t add new food to the database as it is a requirement (not optional)
So please add back the option for sodium for international users or make salt optional so at least new foods can be added easily for a better use of the app.

This is a critical update. Canada also only requires sodium on the nutrition label, not salt. and since salt is only ~39% sodium simply moving the decimal place when making the entry doesn't give anywhere near accurate data. This is extremely important for those needing to track their sodium intake.
