Typical poncy labelling just to make numpties buy more when they don't need too

Salt doesn't deteriorate though it does absorb water from the atmosphere
We have got some salt that is more than 20 years old though not much left now as I use it a lot

@Madcaravanner Hells bells !!!! that must have been a good promotion for you to buy 20 years worth of salt all at once, was it with double green shield stamps??

Was it an artic load?

Actually found it on a house clearance still sealed in a tin just a nice 1kg lot for some reason tastes stronger than the modern stuff

There was a similar faux-pas with bottled water which "has been filtering through the mountains for thousands of years".. Best before next week!
Seriously, I wonder whether the containers could leach nasties into the product. I know that the major culprits (things like plasticisers) aren't present in food-grade plastics, but who knows what else is.

In any case, buying anything in amounts that you need to keep for any length of time just turns you into an extension of the supplier's warehouse and bank account!

As the topic is salt. Thought a few might find this interesting. World's largest salt mine is where I used to live in Goderich, Canada

1kg lasts for 20 years = fish and chips once every 73 days. Life wouldn't be worth living.
