∙ 14y agoIt depends. US Government guidelines allow 2400mg/day of sodium (that's 2.4 grams), so 240mg is 1/10th of the daily allowance. Guidance for those who are sodium sensitive is no more than 1500mg (1.5 grams) per day. So in either case, 240mg of sodium is OK. But, 240mg of sodium in one serving, especially if it is a small snack, uses up 1/10th - 1/6th of your daily allowance.

∙ 9y agoThe recommended daily allowance for sodium is 2400 milligrams. One item of food with 1310 milligrams is a lot. However, it does not take you over the recommended allowance by itself.
