Heads up: Check the serving size on Natural Plus Green (NPG) Light Soy Sauce
Hi everyone, just wanted to share a quick math catch I found on a soy sauce brand popular for low-sodium diets.
If you use Natural Plus Green (NPG) Premium Light Soy Sauce, double-check your nutrition labels. The physical bottle label on my batch (Best By June 2027) lists 200 mg of sodium per Tablespoon.
However, the company’s updated website profile lists it as 311 mg per Teaspoon.
Since 3 teaspoons equal 1 tablespoon, a tablespoon is actually 933 mg of sodium—more than 4 times what the physical bottle states. If you track your daily sodium tightly like I do, just a heads-up to measure using the website's metric (933 mg/tbsp) so your daily tracking stays accurate!
What you should do right now
Beyond Reddit, you should actually report this mislabeling to the authorities. Since it's a food misbranding issue that impacts health, you can submit a quick complaint online to the FDA Consumer Complaint Coordinator for New York/your local area, or report it via the FDA's MedWatch program. They take unannounced sodium discrepancies very seriously.
