Max daily should be 2300mg; which you should really aim for like 2k. Yeah, If you just have two of those you're pretty close lol.

Let me tell you something about Malaysian KFC, the actual size of the products sold there is so small in comparison to those in other country. I personally rarely ever visit a KFC in Malaysia (something like once out of 4 years?) because of it's misleading advertisements. Shit is always like 1/2 size of what's shown on posters/commercials. So, chances are the salt:size ratio is still the same.

EDIT:

Ugh wait, I just saw the per 100g serving. -_-

Maybe Malaysian KFC is being cheap on it's salt too? ;D

Wow..that's a lot of freakin salt. It's not surprising though, there's an absurd amount of salt in almost all processed or ready made foods. I was going to buy a can of tomato sauce the other day, as opposed to making my own. I couldn't find a prepared tomato sauce with less than 19% of daily recommended values. Disgusting if you ask me, I don't even salt my tomato sauce, the flavor is much better without it. And forget eating soup from a can or a restaurant, it's like drinking a hot cup of brine with chunks.
