Method
We start from our sauce database, drop any sauce whose ingredient data is missing or unverified, drop any sauce without a published sodium number, then sort ascending by sodium per stated serving. Ties resolve on slug for build reproducibility. Sodium values come straight from the printed Nutrition Facts label; serving size is shown so single-row sodium numbers stay comparable.
