There may be. But odds are you’ve just gotten used to it.

We crave flavor and most of the canned/boxed stuff we consume is just low quality crap with generic flavor profiles and a butt ton of salt.

Salt is used to hide how bland something is and why most all of our boxed/canned foods are so high in sodium. It’s a general indicator of lower quality products/cost cutting.

I stopped buying canned soup 15ish years ago when Progresso, whom I loved, jacked up their sodium to over 1800mg per can.

Now if only they would make their soup half as salty and bring back the flavorful ingredients.
