Sea kelp does contain iodine, but iodine deficient thyroid disorders are virtually unknown in the Western world.
It is up to you how you spend your money, but should you want to waste it on sea kelp then it will not interact in any way with statins.
Good luck

Kelp is a very beneficial nutritional supplement regardless of the thyroid debate.
I recently had a stroke and am now on statins - I asked a chemist who is supportive of alternative/natural remedies etc - she advised me not to take kelp with statins on the basis that kelp increases your metabolism
Hope this helps
