I asked about salts a while back. Below are my question and the response I received. Read from the bottom up. Hope you find it useful.
Good morning Alina. I apologize for the delay in getting back to you on
this. The difference between these 2 products is that the Diamond
Crystal salt for Canning, Pickling, and Table contains the anti-caking
agent YPS. The regular Diamond Crystal Canning and Pickling salt does
not. The reason for this is because a salt listed for Table use will
probably not be used as quickly as a standard canning salt. Salt will
cake up or turn into a large clump over time. In products that are going
to sit in a cabinet for awhile we add the anti-caking the help prevent
this. YPS is a water soluble anti-caking agent and should work fine in
your canning process.
Thank you for using Cargill Salt and please feel free to contact me if
you have any further questions.
Thanks,
Scott Eikleberry

Subject: Cargill.com Inquiry for Salt
Below is the information from an inquiry submitted via Cargill.com
Name: Alina
Comments/Questions: What us the difference between Diamond Crystal(r)
Canning and Pickling Salt and Salt for Cooking , Canning, Pickling and
Table Use. I can not find the first and have a box of the latter, but it
says it has yellow prussiate of soda. I understand salt with additives
should not be used for pickling. Please advise. Thank you,
