There needs to be! a lot of people need to cut down on sodium, including my wife. An enterprising person could make a lot of money this way. Amy's used to have low-sodium vegetarian frozen meals, but I haven't seen them in a few years.

If you're willing to cook your own food, there are things like canned beans with no salt. So you'll spend some time in the kitchen, but it can be done. Good luck.
