How does the high salt content in this iodized sea salt affect individuals with hypertension or a sodium‑restricted diet?

Because the product is almost pure salt, consuming even small amounts can quickly exceed recommended sodium limits; people with hypertension or who need to limit sodium should use it sparingly and consider low‑sodium alternatives.

Is the iodine added to this salt beneficial for thyroid health, and are there any risks for people with thyroid disorders?

Iodine fortification helps prevent iodine deficiency and supports normal thyroid function, but people with hyperthyroidism or those taking thyroid medication should monitor their total iodine intake to avoid excess.

What are the functions of the anti‑caking agents E504(ii) and E535 in this product, and are they considered safe for regular consumption?

E504(ii) (sodium aluminosilicate) and E535 (sodium ferrocyanide) prevent clumping and improve flowability of the salt; both are approved food additives in the EU and are regarded as safe when used within established limits.
