Chandigarh, October 20, 2024: On World Iodine Deficiency Day (WIDD), Tata Salt, India’s pioneer and market leader in iodized salt, reaffirms its commitment to combating iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) in children across the country. As the first national branded iodized salt, Tata Salt continues to play a vital role in raising awareness about iodine, a crucial micronutrient essential for mental development, particularly during early childhood.
Since 1983, Tata Salt has been at the forefront of helping to address iodine deficiency, becoming a trusted household name for millions of Indian families. Known for its consistent quality, Tata Salt has made iodized salt accessible across the country, helping to support overall well-being.
