    Is table salt sold in Ireland generally Iodised or not? There is no mention of it on the labels (e.g. on Saxa Table Salt).

    Not sure, but the salt in Lidl certainly is.

    It's in a small yellow cardboard box, can't miss it.

    Saxa isn't iodised either, remember an ADHD debate a few years back mentioning it for some reason!

    Crucial for kids development, they "lose" about 15 IQ points if they don't have quite enough

    Also note the RDA vs the amount in the salt, some salts may as well have 0 iodine in them but claim to be iodised. Unless we plan on eating 1kg of salt per day :D
