The Brussels Declaration on Iodine
Sustained Priorities and Strengthened Commitment in Iodine Deficiency Prevention Programmes
Developed in a multi-stakeholder approach led by the EUthyroid2 Consortium
The signatories of the Brussels Declaration on Iodine urge on policymakers, public health officials, food producers, researchers, patient organisations, scientists, and industry representatives to join forces to ensure that existing strategies to prevent IDD, especially in young women, are fully implemented across Europe. Specifically, the EUthyroid2 consortium calls for:
- Strengthening public information campaigns and integrating the role of iodine in healthy living into standard school and training programmes for healthcare professionals.
- Enabling and encouraging appropriate iodine fortification of plant-based foods, especially those that replace traditional iodine sources (e.g., milk and dairy products, eggs, and fish).
- Simplifying and harmonising the labelling of iodised salt in foods to improve clarity for consumers and facilitate informed choices.
