Description: A white bag with red and green printing. It was manufactured by the New Cheshire Salt Works in Northwich, England, and sold in Southland A1 Stores. The bag was probably imported before the establishment of New Zealand salt works in the 1940s. Background: Before the 1920s, many New Zealanders suffered from goitre as a result of iodine deficiency. This deficiency also caused mental disabilities in young children. In 1924, the New Zealand government established an initiative to add iodine to table salt. This public health action virtually eradicated goitre by the 1950s.
