Owner uses "Bartholomew's Island Spice." Which I believe is "low sodium." https://nantucketcookiecompany.net/shop/ols/products/bartholomews-nantucket-island-spice-575-oz
There is another version which is actually made by Bartholomew's divorcee which is called "Nantucket Secret Spice." According to reports, she got the business as part of the divorce, and Bartholomew simply said "I'll do it alone - thank you." And competes directly with her.
Other than salt, or ketchup on eggs, Bartholomew would be Owner's choice.

Lawrys. Bleeech. I have my own seasoning.
I’m currently out of stock but that’s because I’m in process of jobbing out manufacturing which I’m working on. No I don’t have a low sodium version though but I may consider formulating some.
Part of the reason for shortages may have to do with the necessary health dept inspections not getting done, thanks to covid 19. That’s why I’m looking to job it out. So I don’t have to screw with the regulations.

I had to learn to make a lot of "homemade" versions of seasonings after we moved here, the best temporary solution I can suggest is to see if there are any low-salt/salt substitutes still in the shops and then use them to first make the small batch of the clone (maybe using 1/2 salt substitute and 1/2 salt) and see if you like it.
Play with it in the tiny version until you like the taste (if you do) and then scale it up- the other choice would be to just upscale the herb/spice/sugar mix and then add salt to your taste/permitted amount as you use it.
I used to make homemade "Bisquick" here that way from an old recipe that left the fat out (it goes rancid unless you use shortening) and then just added butter, lard or oil as needed.
I may make some more up for this Winter as it is useful on cold mornings as a base for a lot of things.

Is it good? Super good? I haven't put salt on my food in years...like 25 years now! Amazingly, it was a new years resolution I never broke. Tell you what tho, I miss it! And I say that as I drank a glass of whiskey last night and just took a drag from me e-cigarette. I am complex!
As long as you don’t start eating bats....

It's a large, beloved, Texas based, grocery store chain that also runs the un-hippy like Texas version of Whole Foods called "Central Market". It's named after the son of the founder, Howard Edward Butt.

Neither here nor there.
I've been making my own creole seasoning, it's a copycat version of Paul Purdhommes, and left the salt out entirely. This allows me to salt my dish how I want it to taste. And since I'm supposed to be on a low sodium diet it's one last thing for me to worry about.

Please stop buying things!!!
You make so much harder on the rest of us to survive in this new world of ours.
First it was flour, then bread maker, then a freezer and now this!!!!
You have the worst luck..... so please stop buying things..... The rest of us will have a better life if you do.

This^^^ I know the Tones Plant in Ankeny, IA is running an extra shift in efforts to keep up with demand. When you suddenly have 100M eating at home 3x a day plus snacks 5 to 7 days a week for five months, they're eventually going to start cooking real food. Oh and it's BBQ season so everyone and their dog are grilling and smoking food right now and well, rubs happen.
Dennis, I actually read this before making a large multi-store grocery run and made a concerted effort to check every single store for this seasoning for you and did not find a single container of the low-salt Lowrey's Seasoning. I'm sorry but I tried. I'll keep checking.

I hardly ever use salt either except at the table, sometimes.
Most of those Cajun seasonings like Tony Chachere's have plenty of garlic/onion salt & red pepper, etc. in them you can achieve the same taste pretty much just by shaking those individually on your food. You don't even notice the lack of salt.
I like the Lawry’s on eggs, hash browns, and in certain soups. I don’t like Cajun (or spicy) everything. Some might, but not me.
The only seasoned salt I use is Badia's. Ya made me look ... 
ETA - Badia's is a must have on oven fries here Good on other veggies, too.

How Much Sodium Is There in Seasoning Salt?
08 July, 2011
Fact Checked
Seasoning salt contains a lot of sodium. The popular spice blend is a mainstay in many kitchens, and if you’re using seasoning salt regularly, chances are you are getting more than the recommended amount of sodium. Although your body needs some salt, too much salt is linked with high blood pressure, which in turn ups your risk of heart disease and stroke. Lesser known is too much salt is also associated with osteoporosis and some cancers. Do yourself a favor and make your own seasoning salt to control how much sodium you are getting.
Seasoning Salt
Seasoning salt is also sometimes called seasoned salt 1
. The main ingredient of this commercial product is salt but it also includes a blend of spices and herbs. These usually include onions, pepper, garlic and paprika. It’s commonly used to enhance the flavor of foods, especially meat and poultry, as well as French fries and some side dishes.
Lawry’s Seasoned Salt, Morton Seasoned Salt, Morton Season-All Brand Seasoned Salt and Badia Seasoned Salt are among the many popular brands of seasoning salt 1
.Each contains comparable amounts of sodium. In their Nutrition Facts label, they each use one-quarter of a teaspoon as their serving size. For example, Lawry’s has 380 mg of sodium in a single serving. Morton has 350 mg per serving and Badia has 380 mg. Some of the salt-makers produce a lower-sodium version of their regular seasoning salt.
It’s no secret Americans consume too much salt and therefore get way more sodium than is necessary — or healthy. You do need some. The Institute of Medicine recommends 2,300 mg daily for most healthy Americans, but only 1,500 for those with health issues such as hypertension and diabetes. The average American gets about 3,400 mg daily, reports Harvard University’s School of Public Health.
You can reduce your intake of sodium by reducing your portion sizes, eating fewer processed foods and eating more fresh fruit and vegetables. In addition, you don’t have to rely on commercial products to get seasoning salt. You can make your own and control how much salt goes in. For example you could combine lower-sodium salts with more of your own fresh herbs and spices. One word of caution: talk to your doctor before you use salt substitutes. You may get excessive amounts of potassium and cause other health problems.

We cook very little with salt mostly a little on fish. We use black pepper instead including on tomatoes and fires and.... Keep a small can of black pepper on the desk for snacks.
You need salt, but with so many foods have added salt, you will get more salt than you need.

Not salt but try Cavendar’s Greek Seasoning. That stuff is great on anything. Just started eating it a few months ago and don’t use salt or pepper much. Also have noticed that the spice selection at Kroger is very slim and Walmart isn’t much better.

Cavenders is a staple at my house! My MIL was Greek so Cavenders was used in most everything she cooked and it sorta rubbed off on my cooking.
Dennis, if you cannot find your Lawry's and decide to make one of the above recipes, you may want to substitute the salt for this "No Salt." As you can see, there is no sodium. Tastes just like salt. My honey uses this on his food as sodium is an issue for him. It can be found everywhere...well, it used to be found everywhere.

I’ve had potassium-based non-salt products before. They’re not palatable to me. I taste the difference instantly. Potassium leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

Neither here nor there.
We’re the same way, until I learned to make my own spice mixes and this includes taco seasoning. Turns out I really do like spicy food, just not the commercial mixes. i found out it’s because of the salt and the preservatives. Make it from scratch and we both love it, buy a bottle from the store and not so much.
