If you can get Canning & Pickling Salt that's pure salt with no additives.
They make a big deal out of it on the box that I have. There are still
several Kosher salts out there that don't add anything to the mix, Morton
and Diamond brands come to mind.

Best to *always* read the label, even if it's a brand you bought before. One
never knows when they might change the product, slap on a "NEW! IMPROVED!"
sticker and charge 2x the original price.  ;-)
