Potassium iodate is an oxidizer, added to table salt for a variety of reasons. Preventing iodine deficiency in children and adults, to keep salt fresher longer, and to boost flavor are a few of the advantages. Potassium iodate in its original form is very flammable and skin irritant however it is safe in small doses and is even given to military and government personnel in pill form for protection in case of nuclear exposure.
