Any chemical biological or physical hazard in salt

Are you speaking of sodium chloride (table salt) and also at what purity?

Are you speaking of sodium chloride (table salt) and also at what purity?

Do you sell the salt as the product?

do you add any anti-caking agents? We by "no YPS" salt only

The YPS could pose a chemical hazard is not sourced properly from approved vendors if added

Are you adding iodine?

Do you sell the salt as the product?

there could be physical contamination from the milling/grinding process

Biological if it has been contaminated during processing

Chemical.....any number of items could have fallen into it

Is the manufacturer GFSI certified?

Please let me know is there any physical, chemical or biological hazard may have

note that there is no such item as 100% salt.

you need to ask supplier for a purity specification.

There are actually various grades commercialised, eg sun-dried, vacuum-purified etc.

So one simple answer to yr OP is yes, eg heavy metals.

Not food safety related but I have a friend that learned that one salt is not the same as the other. He thought he could put food salt in his hot tub because the hot tub salt he was buying from the dealer costs about $4/lb. while he can by a 50lb bag of food salt for $5. It ended up plugging up and destroying his filters and destroying his chlorinating salt cell. Over $2k to get it fixed and he was lucky he didn't burn out the pump and heater.

Hi Amjshe,

specification is needed. We are talking about sodium chloride which has minimum purity requirements if used for food.

For contamination risk assessment it is importatnt to know whether the source is sea (salt) or whether the salt is coming from deep mining.

Don't forget bulk storage and bulk transportation.

We run our Pink Himalayan through an 8 mesh sifting screen, we have found small nails, rocks and other non-salt items.

Sorry, Pink Himalayan SALT! From millions of years ago when Pakistan was an ocean.

you need certified testing information from the packer - There is no such thing as 100% salt.

Unless it's Pink Himalayan !

My CofA for hygrade white salt is

99.80% Sodium Chloride  (table salt)

0.008% Magnesium Chloride  (soluable magnesium)

0.115% Calcium Sulphate  (naturally occurring gypsum)

0.028% Calcium Chloride  (salt---but this is what is used in road salt in a larger %)

From a deep underground mine.....I've put this here as a reference point only
