FDA to require iodide labeling on all table salt
The FDA said it will order all table salt labels to show if the product contains iodide and weigh a broader move to require iodized salt universally. The regulation, taking effect in 18 months, preserves exemptions for very small and very large packages and notes noniodized salt availability for those who cannot or do not want iodized salt. The Salt Institute urged a consumer survey before final rules, but the agency proceeded with the labeling change. The agency will compare U.S. goiter data from 10 states with a Canadian survey where iodized salt has been required for two decades.
