In Germany, iodine deficiency and its consequences is still a problem, although it is of less importance than it was twenty years ago. In accordance with the WHO definition, Germany still belongs among those countries with mild iodine deficiency and too low an intake of iodine. As a result groups at particular risk, such as pregnant and nursing women, must still receive iodine supplementation, since, in the absence of supplemental iodine,the amount of iodine in the mother's milk continues to be below average throughout Germany. Both in private households and in the food industry, the aim is to increase the use of iodized salt to more than go%. This entails no risk of an iodine overdose. The current average daily uptake of iodine of approximately 120 micrograms is responsible neither for the development or progression of an autoimmune disease nor a functional disorder of the thyroid gland.
在德国，碘缺乏及其后果仍然是个问题，尽管其严重程度已不如二十年前。根据世界卫生组织的定义，德国仍属于存在轻度碘缺乏且碘摄入量过低的国家。因此，像孕妇和哺乳期妇女这类特别危险的群体仍必须补充碘，因为在没有补充碘的情况下，德国各地母乳中的碘含量仍低于平均水平。无论是在私人家庭还是食品行业，目标都是将加碘盐的使用比例提高到90%以上。这不会有碘摄入过量的风险。目前每日约120微克的碘平均摄入量既不会导致自身免疫性疾病的发生或发展，也不会引发甲状腺功能紊乱。
