It depends on what is meant by sodium. The Sodium molecule by itself, as well as several sodium compounds can be extremely dangerous if consumed or touched. Sodium Hydroxide is a main ingredient in Lye which is a drain cleaner. It is dangerous to eat or touch it. Sodium hypochlorite is common household bleach. It is dangerous if ingested. Sodium Chloride is common table salt and commonly used in foods.

There are many chemical compounds that include sodium. Most are not meant to eaten but many are.
