> Unless you're fermenting or canning, iodine makes no difference to food.

It honestly hadn’t occurred to me that iodine could inhibit fermentation, and I had just recently purchased a box of iodized salt for the first time in years because of the reasons discussed in this thread. But lo, the fermentation blogs all seem to confirm this. I hope the salsa I have fermenting in my cupboard isn’t ruined.

Looking into this further, it sounds like fermentation proceeds just fine, but the brine can be cloudy.
