Storage & Handling

Shelf Life
2 Months
Storage Information & Shelf Life

General Purpose Salt is chemically stable indefinitely and does not support microbial growth. To retard caking, it should be stored in a dry, covered area at relative humidities below 75%. Cycling salt through the 75% relative humidity zone will rapidly increase the onset of caking. Shelf life is indicative of caking resistance only. Shelf life is from date of manufacture, at storage below 75% relative humidity, as caking resistance.
