Is it true that the FDA does not require iodine to be listed on nutrition facts labels?

Yes. A peer-reviewed review of FDA iodine regulations states that declaring the percent Daily Value of iodine on the Nutrition Facts label is voluntary, and required only when iodine is added to a food. This supports the claim that the FDA does not require iodine to be listed on nutrition facts labels.
