High blood pressure warning: Expert warns frozen pizza could raise hypertension risk

“The label will show you the amount of sodium the pizza harbours. Avoid anything that carries more than 700mg of sodium per serving.”

Otherwise, you can risk exceeding your recommended daily intake. The NHS instructs not to have more than six grams of salt a day, which is the equivalent of 2,400mg of sodium.

As pizza can contain up to 2,000mg of sodium, that doesn’t leave much wiggle room for other foods before reaching the maximum daily amount.

“Since it’s too salty, frozen pizza challenges this healthy set amount, increasing the risk of serious health conditions,” Komova noted.

While eating a single pizza won’t instantly give you heart problems, consuming foods high in salt regularly can see your risk rise.
