What is Iodized Salt?

Iodized salt is a type of table salt fortified with iodine, an element crucial for preventing iodine deficiency disorders such as goiter. While the salt itself is derived from mineral sources, it is typically processed with anti-caking agents or stabilizers to maintain its free-flowing nature. These additives are often derived from corn, which can present concerns for individuals with corn allergies.
