Press Release: Judgment in Case C-157/14. Neptune Distribution v Ministre de l’Économie et des Finances

The sodium content of natural mineral waters must be calculated on the basis not only of sodium chloride but also of sodium bicarbonate.

A natural mineral water may not mention that it is low in sodium or salt, or that it is suitable for a low-sodium diet, if its sodium content is equal to or more than 20 mg/l, regardless of the chemical form of sodium.
