EGG YOLK: Iodine and selenium are found in the yolk

Margo

Could you, please, correct the nutrient data of egg yolk. Today I listed two (large) egg yolks and one full egg in my dairy. Only the one full egg got the iodine 'credit' and nothing for the 2 egg yolks. In fact, it is the yolk (yellow part) that contains this very important element. My end result shows zero iodine for the 2 egg yolk. Should be 2x24mcg/ 32% daily value.
Fact: A large egg's YOLK has 24 mcg of iodine, which is 16% of the daily value.
So i should have 48% iodine in my food list for today, but it shows only 16% total value, which is only 24 mcg. I had 3x of that today: in 2 egg yolks and 1 full egg. Again, the iodine is in the yolk, not the white part.
Please, correct the YOLK's nutrient data. Add 24 mcg iodine for a large yolk, which is 16% daily value.
Thanks, Margo

Hi Margo,

Unfortunately, the iodine content of egg yolks was not analyzed in the USDA or NCCDB nutrient data, so we don't have this information available. I'll have the team investigate additional sources for the iodine content of egg yolk. Thanks!
