It was no big dill.
And that’s my fennel word.
The salt I use comes from a 300 million year old deposit. Expiration date? Ha!:dubious:
Let’s say that its ability to do its thing (i.e., make little black specks in food) hasn’t diminished over time.
You guys are obviously not very experienced shoppers. Just like Milk, the fresh stuff is in the back. If you would have grabbed the salt in the back of the shelf you could have found some with the expiration of March 13, 3659018.

Your tongue has nothing to do, there’s no taste, nothing but eeeew.
Salt is a preservative.
It’s self-preserving!
If that salt hadn’t been sold by 2028, I do agree that it should be thrown out. It’s never going to be sold at that rate. I’d be squicked out by what sorts of crud had accumulated on the package. The salt inside would be OK though.
I’ve got it! It’s not the salt that goes bad - it’s the container.
The only real problem with salt is how absorbant it is. I keep my salt in an airtight container which I use for cooking. Otherwise, it absorbs the water in the air, and in the tropical climate I live in that tends to be a problem. For my salt shaker which isn’t airtight, the salt clogs. So I tried adding some uncooked rice and that does work. I can only conclude that uncooked rice is more moisture absorbent than salt.
Anyway, I’m not so impressed with salt not going bad, reasons for which so many have pointed out above, honey on the other hand. From what I understand honey never goes bad and you can keep that in your cubard forever. That’s amazing to me considering honey is an organic substance.
I’ve had honeycomb go moldy, and some mass-produced honey is “cut” with corn syrup.
Yeah, it’s like worrying about your soap getting dirty.
But if that salt has lost its flavor, it ain’t got much in its favor. You can’t have that fault and be the salt of the earth.
Heh. We have three pepper-mills with three different types of peppercorns. And we refill regularly.
So you’re saying that if the Salt has Gained its Savour it is Good for Nothing but to be Thrown Out?
Even better, Himalaya Salt is now certified GMO free!
But is it gluten free? :dubious:

and organic compliant (whatever that is). Aha! I can get proper organic salt from Waitrose.
That’s quackery right up there with vaccinations causing autism.
