Is road salt safe for consumption? I didnt think they actually used NaCl salt

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 4 points 9 months ago (9 children)

Road salt is NaCl but it's much more coarse than the salt you would put in a grinder for food. They also don't make sure the rocks are out of it if it is mined rather than taken from the sea. Transported in trucks that may not have been cleaned. So safe for consumption? Not likely. But it is just NaCl.

Huh, til. I thought it was a different compound.

Depends on the area. Different chemicals work better for different climates.
