1 Iodized salt was only added to bread in 1953/1954 but was discontinued in the 1980s; iodized salt was available in Australia from this time. A 2009 iodization program applied to salt added to most bread [33,40]. 2 Search was conducted and salt iodization details were not located, but this does not confirm the absence of a program. 3 Database does not have updated iodine values for all fortified breads. 4 Database lacks some milk/dairy and beverage products. 5 Database iodine content is limited to table salt, fish, and shellfish.
