That’s not true. Iodized salt is the norm in Germany. I couldn't find data more recent than 2018 but according to this paper, "iodized and fluoridated salt has a market share of 80-90% among salt sold to private households": https://jlupub.ub.uni-giessen.de/items/fcd6e613-49a9-414b-a4...

I think you made a typo. Your source says it's 70-80%.

> So liegt der Anteil von jodiertem und fluoridiertem Salz in Haushaltsgebinden seit Jahren zwischen 70 und 80 %

Yes, that was a typo, thanks for the correction!
Good to know, must have gone up since I moved away in '92
