1 Includes school cafeteria, workplace cafeteria, vending machine, gift/from someone else, and other sources; 2 Sorted by contribution to 6–11 year-olds; 3 Others include all other categories, which contribute <1.3% of total sodium for the total population; 4 Burgers, as defined in the database, can only come from quick-service restaurants. All burgers reported from store or full-service restaurants are composed of individual ingredients. Therefore, components of hamburgers/cheeseburgers will be present in the yeast breads, beef and beef mixed dishes, regular cheese and other food groupings.
