Unrefined salt at a production operation near Koluedor on the edge of the Songhor Lagoon in Ghana on 18 May 2015. According to UNICEF, Iodine Deficiency Disorders (IDD) are the single greatest preventable cause of mental retardation, and even a moderate iodine deficiency through gestation and infancy can cause a reduction of 10 - 15 IQ points in children. By law, all salt sold in Ghana for human or animal consumption must be iodised, but in practice compliance is uneven and it is common to find uniodised salt that has been labelled as iodised.
