why do frozen dinners have such high sodium/salt content when frozen meat can last up to a year before going bad?

Question

I was watching a guy on yt review hungry man tv dinners and one of the TV dinners had 2,400 mgs of sodium. Why do they add so much?

Answer 1

Because salt makes things taste good. The reason good restaurant food tastes so good is because they use more butter and salt than you probably do at home. Same goes for packaged products.

Also they probably added MSG, which is also sodium.
