EU citizen here, they're not putting it in salt here, but in toothpaste.

Salt is definitely commonly supplemented with fluoride, say least in Germany.

It's on the label and you can decide to just buy the non-fluoride version. Not sure how salt in processed food or restaurants is used though - this is the 'out-of-control' factor here.

Does it noticeably change the taste?

He's probably confusing it with iodide.

[Timon3 → cinntaile]

My german salt has both iodide and fluoride.

'german salt' sounds funny to me.

Let's say you're buying the most popular and common brand, Bad Reichenhall. This is your selection:

In most supermarkets you get almost all of these options. Disclaimer is I have never seen the one with Selenium added.

I wonder what's the mineral composition of the 'pure salt' (it certainly contains some trace minerals) and/or the famed pink salt

Wouldn't be surprising if it naturally had some fluoride
