- tzs 9y agoIn the US you can't really count on companies using iodized salt. For example, among fast food companies as of 2010 [1]: • Burger King usually uses it • Subway does not • McDonald's usually does not • Taco Bell, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and Panda Express are in the middle. There's variability from restaurant to restaurant in a given chain because usually minor items like salt, ketchup, etc., are left up to the local franchise owner to buy from a supplier of their choice.
