Australia finalizes mandate of iodized salt use in bread |
| Posted by Administrator (admin) on [PUBL_DATE] |
Australia moved quickly to harmonize its requirement that bread-makers begin using iodized salt in their products on September 1, 2009. The rule was published in the country's official Gazette on October 9. Thus, both Australia and New Zealand will impose the new requirements on the same schedule.
ICCIDD vice chairman and regional coordinator Dr. Cres Eastman hailed the action as "a small but significant victory." He said continuing monitoring will be required to confirm whether the step raises Australians' iodine nutrition deficit or whether the list of foods required to be prepared with iodized salt will need to be broadened.
