A couple of years ago, for a little cooking experiment, I bought a pound of curing salt No. 1. I am entertaining the idea of making some sausages and salami's over the next few months, and noticed that this pink salt has a "best by" April 2016.
Given how hardy salt is, my eyebrows raised, but I thought I'd ask the experts... can this pink salt actually expire or change to the point where it may be less effective in its important culinary uses?
This pink salt has the following ingredients listed: Salt-Sodium Nitrite (6.25%)-Propylene Glycol with FD&C Red No.3 used for color... Sodium Carbonate used to buffer mix.
