The amount of selenium in food depends on the amount of selenium in the soil
This is more varied for plant-based sources of selenium, but can still impact animal-based sources depending on what plants the animal eats. The United States is not considered to be an area that has low-selenium soil.
Most Americans consume enough selenium thanks to eating foods from a wide variety of selenium-sufficient soil. People with certain health conditions may be at greater risk of getting inadequate amounts of selenium.
