Answer:

The Nutrition Facts label also gives you the Percent Daily Value for sodium. This is how much of the recommended amount of sodium a serving contains. The daily value for sodium is less than 2,400 mg. So if the Percent Daily Value says 50%, this means one serving is giving you half of this, or 1,200 mg.

The percent would be the percentage of sodium in one serving relative to the daily recommended level of sodium that an individual should eat according to the FDA.
