"Ice cream salt" is not a precisely defined term. You could use table salt for the purpose, or you could use road salt, which is not as highly refined and contains impurities. Road salt is not marketed for human consumption.

Table salt has potassium iodide added to it as a supplement to prevent goiter, a disease of the thyroid gland caused by a deficiency of iodine in the diet.

As ice cream salt is used only to help freeze the ice cream and is not an ingredient of the ice cream, it will not be consumed. Adding potassium iodide to it would accomplish nothing but would cost money so its not done.

Having said that, practically all sodium chloride supplies on earth do naturally contain small amounts of all the halogens in their sodium salt forms. So almost all salt will have at least a few parts per million of sodium iodide, as well as sodium fluoride and sodium bromide.

Look at the Nutrition Facts label, it will tell you.

The blueberry ice cream that is currently in my freezer lists a tiny amount of sodium per serving (40 mg), but this will vary from ice cream to ice cream depending on the recipe for the ice cream base and the specific mixins added.
