I went into Holland & Barrett a week ago to buy some tofu for a Thai dish I was making (recipe to follow, once I manage to reduce the amount of soy sauce in it), and took a look at some of the veggie burgers there - reading labels being my latest obsession.
I was surprised by the high levels of sodium in these "healthy" options. CASH have recently carried out a survey on just this topic, the results are here. Note that their figures are g salt per 100g, rather than sodium, which is the figure I normally give (divide salt by 2.5 to get the sodium level). One big surprise was the "Fry's Special Vegetarian Traditional Sausages", which will give you your day's intake in 2 sausages!
