Best Answer

Iodized salt is a combination of regular table salt, sodium chloride, with a small amount of a salt of iodine, potassium iodide. Iodized salt has gained popularity in some countries because iodine is needed by the thyroid to function properly and iodine deficiency can cause the thyroid disease called goiter.

- the iodine concentration must be 20+/-5 mg/1 kg salt which is equivalent to:
