Because I'm on a restricted salt diet, I've been busy doing research, and here's some salt levels, many of which are quite frightening:

This list is much updated and now further down the thread (P3).

GillE:
Great list, Rik!

I can recommend Wessex Mill flours too.  A baker from Gloucester attends our local farmers market every month and sells them.  Amazingly, they're cheaper than supermarket flours and they bake better too.

Rik:
We love their tomato and garlic. Gorgeous with cheese, instant pizza as a Welsh rarebit (worth trying the apple and cinnamon with cheese too).

GillE:
I'm surprised you can eat cheese, Rik, given its salt content.

Rik:
We found a low salt one Leskol. It tastes good, but is much reduced in salt and fat. We grate it rather than slice (Microplane medium) and that makes a little go a long way. Highly recommended, as are the graters.
