It’s amazing that they have gone this long with their sodium levels as high as they are. Really. Everyone I know has eaten Campbell’s soups, and I still find myself eating them from time to time.

The Campbell Soup Co.’s kid-oriented soups, which feature characters such as Dora the Explorer and Batman on the cans, are getting their second sodium reduction in three years, the company announced Monday.

This time, the 12 soups designed for children will have 480 milligrams per serving, which means the company can legally label them as healthy foods for the first time.

“Your kids can enjoy Dora the Explorer even more,” said Douglas R. Conant, Campbell’s president and chief executive, said in an interview. “They’ll be down to heart-healthy levels.”

For Camden-based Campbell’s, high sodium levels have been a big health concern for decades, especially in relation to products that are otherwise generally healthy.

I just think it’s funny they are finally doing this. My question is, since they are cutting sodium levels, exactly what are they adding to help keep the soups edible. Maybe it’s scarier than the sodium, who knows.
