Iodized salt has been an important source of dietary iodine, a trace element important for regulating human growth, development, and metabolic functions. This analysis identified iodized table salt sales as a percentage of retail salt sales using Nielsen ScanTrack. We identified 1117 salt products, including 701 salt blends and 416 other salt products, 57 of which were iodized. When weighted by sales volume in ounces or per item, 53% contained iodized salt. These findings may provide a baseline for future monitoring of sales of iodized salt.
碘盐一直是膳食碘的重要来源,碘是一种对调节人体生长、发育和代谢功能至关重要的微量元素。本分析使用尼尔森扫描追踪数据,将加碘食盐的销售量确定为零售食盐销售量的百分比。我们识别出1117种盐产品,包括701种混合盐和416种其他盐产品,其中57种为加碘盐。按盎司或每件产品的销售量加权计算,53%的产品含有碘盐。这些发现可为未来监测碘盐销售情况提供一个基线。
