About Iodised salt

Iodised salt is edible salt to which an iodine-containing compound has been added. It is used in cooking and at the table much like other salt, providing a salty taste while serving as a carrier for the added iodine. The type of salt and the iodine compound are not specified by the name alone.

It is usually a white, free-flowing crystalline product, though crystal size and any anti-caking ingredients vary. It may be sold as fine table salt or in coarser grains. Nutrition comparisons should distinguish iodised salt from non-iodised salt and consider the iodine compound, storage and product formulation, rather than treating every product as compositionally identical.
