The numbers vary depending on the source. I believe in the US the RDA is under 2400 mg daily, but in the UK it's under 1600mg daily. The American Heart Association recommends no more than 1000mg per 1000 calories consumed, but Fitday.com says the RDA is 1500mg.
Are you salt sensitive? Do you bloat easily? Do you have high blood pressure? IMO, although I think there is an upper limit to avoid, I think some people need to limit their salt intake more then others. This might be a question for your doctor or nutritionist.
