Unclear but Germany is monitoring iodine intake and insufficiency is on the rise.

Iodized salt use is decreasing in the US as well. I take a lot of supplements and vitamins and I rarely see iodine as an ingredient so I have placed iodized salt next to my sea salt as I know I do not get enough iodine rich foods in my diet. It's easy to forget about and while I may take things like St Johns and Turmeric daily, I can live without them, iodine not so much.

I take a specific D/K supplement that also has iodine for this reason. It was surprisingly difficult to find one that had it.

[edit]: This one, for the curious, although I get it from Vitamin Shoppe, not direct

Eat some sushi regularly. Nori has a lot of iodine.
