🔍 Key Insights

1 **Mostly safe territory.** 7 out of 10 foods (70%) in this intersection fall in the safe oxalate range (under 25 mg per serving). That's good news — you have plenty of low-oxalate options here.
2 **Moderate oxalate spread.** Values range from 5 to 31 mg per serving. The lowest is **Condiments** (5 mg), and the highest is **Ravioli** (31 mg).
3 **Low average oxalate.** The mean across all 10 foods is 17.3 mg per serving — solidly in the safe zone. You can build meals around these foods with confidence.
4 **Sodium alert.** 8 foods in this intersection are high in sodium (460+ mg/100g). Excess sodium increases urinary calcium — a known kidney stone risk factor. Check sodium levels alongside oxalate when choosing.
