Electronic databases and internet searches were conducted to find the 34 studies used in this analysis.
The conclusion of this study found that the use of iodized salt does not cause adverse organoleptic properties of processed foods, and does not affect consumer acceptability or product quality of the processed foods. It is recommended that iodized salt be used by food manufacturers to increase iodine intake.
