    Iodine like salt is a mineral. It won’t ever “go bad” but the USDA requires that you put expiration dates on consumables.

    I have several packets of iodine pills they don’t cost much and I keep them with my bug out bag.

      Which formulation of iodine is the one to get?

        Here are the pills.

        I also have a few vials of liquid iodine. But it is harder to dose properly.

        Unless you are directly in the path of very recent fall out (within 8 days) as an adult those pills probably won’t do much for you. By the time you start seeing the effects of radiation you’ll be in your 70s.

        If you have to ration iodine pills prioritize kids and teenagers and young adults. They would live long enough after the event to deal with cancer and its affects.
