Deficiency is not common in U.S.
In general, people who live in developed countries like the United States get enough thiamin. However, those suffering from eating disorders or living in poverty may not be eating enough food to get sufficient thiamin in their diet.
Although there are some excellent sources of thiamin, many foods contain small amounts of thiamin. If you eat a variety of foods from all of the food groups, you will more than likely get enough thiamin.
