Salt is a mineral, it simply does not go bad.

If you have any concerns about the freshness of your salt, make a saline solution of it by boiling 4 parts water to 1 part salt, skimming off any impurities, then boiling down, straining out the salt, and dry under very, very low heat or just under kitchen oven light. The salt will dry, 100% "fresh" and can then be broken up and ground in a salt mill or by using a pestle.

What does it mean when eggs float in the water and how can this be used to determine their freshness?
