    I got a bag of salt from a guy, Im not sure how old it is (still sealed in the bag) but its a little clumpy but when I moved the bag around the clumps broke up. Is this still good do you think?? Does it ever go bad??? I read the bag it doesnt say anything about it expiring or anything

    thanks!

    I would have to say no, it doesnt go bad, its salt!! Salt is used to preserve foods.

    No, salt should still be good. As long as no water has gotten into the bag. If water has gotten in then the likelihood of the salt absorbing something is higher, but if it's sealed you should be A-OK!
