Abstract
The present study was undertaken to find out the type of salt used by the community, the status of iodine in iodized salt, awareness about importance of iodized salt amongst housewives and shopkeepers of local area, showing knowledge about health Benefits of iodized salt in housewives & shopkeepers, source of knowledge of housewives & Shopkeepers about importance of iodized salt, and association of Educational status of Housewives with awareness of Benefit of iodized salt. Whole of the community was using iodized salt as well as shopkeepers were selling it, but it was observed that cow brand variety lacked in iodine content. The study was conducted in slum area and being cheap source of salt; it was used by maximum households. This is very dangerous situation as it gives false impression of use of iodized salt, without proper health benefits.
