I'll have to look at the labeling for these next time
I'm at a TJ's.
How salty a broth should be depends on usage, but
for the pizza pastry it's pretty objective... if it's
not under a milligram of sodium per calorie, it
isn't undersalted. If it is, it might be undersalted.
The TJ's Italian pizzas are about 2 mg / calorie.
Definitely not undersalted.
