General Guidelines: Iodine-restricted Diet • Maximum of 50 mcg (microgram) of iodine is permitted per day. • Only cook with Jozo Naturel (blue label) or another brand of un-ionized cooking salt. • Make homemade bread. Only use Koopmans bread mix (all variants) or make bread from scratch using un-ionized cooking salt; Use margarine instead of oil. • When preparing rice, pasta and couscous, use only Evian spring water. Potatoes and vegetables can be prepared using tap water as water is not absorbed into the product. • Consume the first product in each product group category below, daily. These are printed in blue. When this is followed, a healthy diet is guaranteed. • After totaling the foods indicated in blue, about 3 - 5 mcg of iodine remains to be used in other quantities or a selection from the Variation List. • Always check the ingredient list on the packaging of products; When iodinated salt is used, the product should be avoided. • All products not listed in the table should be avoided: they are too rich in iodine or the iodine content is unknown.
