Sodium availability and food sources in 2018–2019 were estimated and trends analyzed for 15 years (2004–2019) in Costa Rica. Food purchase records from the National Household Income and Expenditure Survey (ENIGH) 2018–2019 were converted to energy and sodium using food composition tables measuring "apparent consumption". Foods were classified by sodium content. ENIGH is a probabilistic, stratified, two-stage and replicated national survey, carried out regularly by the national statistics institution. Results from the 2004–2005 and 2012–2013 ENIGHs came from previous analysis. Differences between periods were determined through descriptive and inferential statistics. The available sodium adjusted to 2000 kcal/person/day was 3.40, 3.86, and 3.84 g/person/day (g/p/d) for periods 2004–2005, 2013–2014, and 2018–2019, respectively. In this last period, this was 3.94 urban and 3.60 g/p/d rural (p < 0.05), with a non-linear increase with income. During 2004–2019 sodium from salt and salt-based condiments increased from 69.5 to 75.5%; the contribution of common salt increased, from 60.2 to 64.8% and condiments without added salt from 9.3 to 10.7%. From 2012–2013 to 2018–2019, processed and ultra-processed foods with added sodium intake increased from 14.2 to 16.9% and decreased in prepared meals (7.2 to 2.8%). Costa Rica has been successful in reducing salt/sodium available for consumption; after a 12% increase of salt consumption between 2004–2005 and 2012–2013, to a level almost twice as high as recommended, it has stabilized in the last period.
