SamL Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Day 21...we normally don't use iodized salt,but picked some up yesterday.my husband didn't read the label and put it in the shaker this morning..I put it on breakfast and lunch..read the label while cooking dinner and it contains dextrose among other(possibly compliant things). Who would have thought?! Restart? We are normally really good label readers :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamL Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 I remembered reading it after I freaked out and found it in the book. What is sodium silicoaluminate? That and potassium iodide are in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted February 8, 2016 Moderators Share Posted February 8, 2016 I remembered reading it after I freaked out and found it in the book. What is sodium silicoaluminate? That and potassium iodide are in it. Sodium silicoaluminate is added to salt to keep it from clumping up. Potassium iodide is what makes the salt "iodized" -- iodine in some form started being added to salt a long time ago to help prevent iodine deficiencies, which would result in health problems in large parts of the population. (And dextrose is added to iodized salt to help prevent the iodide from evaporating out of the salt.) All of these are okay for Whole30, but you can definitely find salts without it.

praxisproject Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 If you're having trouble finding salt without it, most of the "rock" salt that needs a grinder has no other ingredients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
