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?

Because they added a bunch of stuff to the salt to prevent it from clumping up. So the packet is “salt + other things”, to make sure that the salt stays as sprinkles instead of chunks.

Potassium iodide has been added to salt for 50+ years in tiny amounts to help prevent iodine deficiency.
