Hey Whole Foods, What's with the salt?

I like whole foods very much but we on occasion I've noticed that the food is overly salted.  We just bought the 365 32 ounce Medium Salsa and I read the list of ingredients.  Salt is higher up on the list than cilantro.  This is accurate, I'm not making this up.  There is more salt in the jar than garlic or cilantro.  Two tablespoons of salsa give a whopping 9% of the daily dietary intake.  I just checked the 365 crushed tomatoes, the 28 ounce can.  Guess what.  It has more salt than basil, while by no means as much as the salsa, is still very high in salt.  I'm returning the salsa.
