Abstract

Processed foods made of iodine-enriched wheat flour contain 0.05 mg to 40 mg of iodine per 100 g of wheat flour. The iodine is provided by blending small quantities of residues of extracts from sea weeds in the Laminaria group into wheat flour used for the production of such processed foods as bread, cakes, cookies, noodles, and the like. It is possible to intake essential iodine easily without any sense of incongruity.
