Looking here at a salt packet from ncdonalds. What is sodium sulucoaluminate? Also, dextrose and potassium iodide are present. Why isn’t salt just salt?

Spices usually have anti-caking agents added to them so they don’t clump together. That would prevent them from being able to fit through a shaker lid or sprinkle easily, etc. Iodide is added to table salt as it’s a nutrient we need in our diet, but don’t get it from a lot of other sources-mostly seafood and dairy outside of salt. And since everyone should season their food, it s a good way to add iodide if you aren’t eating seafood regularly.
