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?

sodium sulucoaluminate is an anti caking agent. It keeps the salt from clumping together.

Iodized salt is often used because humans need iodine, and if a population lives far from the sea, that is an easy way to ensure everyone gets it.

Dextrose apparently stabilizes the iodine.
