Iodine levels in brands of salt on the markets of Accra, Ghana.

Conclusion: Only samples B and C were close to the Ghana Standard Authority's specification. The Ghana Standard Authority's standard of 100ppm at production and 50ppm at retail may be too high or, probably, the salt iodination companies are not adhering to the rules. The authors therefore recommend that the regulatory authorities (The Food and Drugs Authority and The Ghana Standard Authority) regularize their regulatory activities and educate the public appropriately. Funding: The study was self-funded by the researchers/authors. PMID: 30602803 [PubMed - in process]
