Iodine content of various foods

Our thyroids need iodine which is an element used in the production of thyroid hormone. Since our bodies do not naturally make iodine, we must consume iodine through the foods we eat. Some foods are naturally high in iodine; others, like iodized table salt, are enriched with iodine.

Patients with iodine deficiency need to consume foods rich in iodine.

Some thyroid cancer patients are instructed to temporarily follow a low iodine diet in advance of their treatment. If you need to follow a low iodine diet, download the Fig app to find foods that are compliant with the diet.

Foods have varying levels of iodine content. The list below is based on data from the United States Department of Agriculture, the Food & Drug Administration and the Office of Dietary Supplements at the National Institutes of Health.

Keep in mind that the below guidelines are from representative products. Each manufacturer can use different ingredients. For this reason, always read through the ingredient list.
