Future table salt to be sprinkled with less iodine

The iodine level in table salt will be decreased, said the Ministry of Health.

According to the ministry, nearly 31 million people scattered across six provinces and areas including Shandong, Hebei, and Jiangsu, had abnormal levels of the chemical element.

However, the latest reports from the ministry showed that the level of iodine was normal for the majority of the nation's population.
