Default Another misunderstanding:

I said, "This is very close to seven times more sodium than what's recommended for a healthy meal by the American Heart Association (1,500 milligrams per day).

Notice I said meal and the recommendation is per day.

If it's 1,500 milligrams per day, it would be 500 milligrams per meal, assuming the usual 3 meals per day. So divide 500 into 3,480 milligrams of sodium and one sandwich comes to almost 7 times the normal amount of sodium for that one meal.
