No-salt stock cubes/powder?

Can anyone tell me if this actually exists, and if it does, where can I get some?! I currently make my own stock for dd3 who's 7 months but find it a huge faff for not a great deal of stock! I read a recipe in Lorraine Kelly's kids cookbook (or something like that) which said "no-salt stock cube". Not sure how old this book is, but the only stuff I can find is a "reduced salt" stock cube. Would that be too salty for a baby though?

Yep, you can get organic low-salt cubes from kallo which are about 99% lower than normal (I think) - like about 0.01% salt. (I have some downstairs, will go and read label in a sec )

OK - Kallo organic low-salt veg stock cubes - per 100ml are 0.03g sodium. Not sure how that converts to actual salt, maybe 0.1%? (There is a formula to work it out)

So, per 100ml of stock, 0.03g sodium = 0.075g salt. I think.

Waitrose 'cooks ingredients' ready made stock doesn't have any salt. Comes in chicken, lamb, beef & fish I think and can be kept in the cupboard rather than the fridge. Obviously is ridiculously expensive compared to powder but nothing was too good for my precious ds when weaning!
