The below is confirmed and several calls were made to FDA as well as large food companies such as General Mills and Frito Lay. Both companies used non-iodized salt accross thier product line and general mills confirmed the necessity of the ingredients list to specify "iodized salt" or "salt with iodine" if the did indeed used iodized salt.

Sea Salt and anything for the Sea have high amounts of naturally occurring iodine.
As of information I have found Jan. 2012 both the FDA and USDA stipulate if iodized salt is used in processed/manufactured foods, it must be listed as iodized salt.
I contacted the USDA directly. A NIH lid states the FDA mandates manufactured food to list iodized salt as such.
hope this helps a thyroid cancer patient out there.
