Looking at the salt is says, "Evolution Salt Co. Gourmet Pink Himalayan
Salt" contains no iodine or anti-caking agent.

Most table salt in the US has iodine added. Supposedly when it was
introduced it raised the median IQ mostly from bumping the low end of
the scale where nutritional deficiencies are more common.

Iodide is sprayed on the salt, dextrose is added to stabilize it, and
anti-caking agents are added so you salt shaker doesn't stop working.

People buying gourmet salt are seldom at risk of dietary deficiencies. I
eat enough fish, dairy, and eggs to meet my iodine requirements.
