Description
Sodium chloride crystals prepared for use as a food seasoning and preservative. Table salt contains sodium chloride with small amounts of a free-flowing agent (1% calcium silicate or magnesium carbonate), an anti-caking agent (sodium ferrocyanide), an iodizing salt (about 0.1% potassium iodide or sodium iodide) and an iodide stabilizer (0.1% sodium carbonate and 0.1% sodium thiosulfate).
