Products with no phosphate additive found, lowest listed phosphorus first
Order: (1) no phosphate additive found, (2) lowest phosphorus per 100 g or mL among products whose label lists it, (3) then products with no listed phosphorus, newest label data first. At most 2 per brand. Where the label has no value, a typical estimate may appear in the last column as a secondary note; it never changes the order.

Listed phosphorus is rounded by the manufacturer and may not fully reflect phosphate additives. A listed 0 mg means the label said 0.
How to use this page
These are label-based lists, not recommendations for you. Your own phosphorus and sodium limits come from your care team. Always confirm on the package.
“Phosphorus on label” is shown only when the manufacturer printed it. US labels are not required to list it, so many products show “Not listed on label.” That does not mean zero. For some product types we add a separate, clearly marked typical estimate from USDA reference foods (not from the label, and it can be wrong). Listed values are rounded by the manufacturer, may not fully reflect phosphate additives, and the phosphate additive flag is the more reliable signal.
