Frequently asked questions

Our food grade PDV salt meets BS 998 / food purity standards. If you are buying for food production, choose the food grade bag and we will supply full documentation.

They are essentially the same product — table salt is PDV salt, usually with anti-caking agent and sometimes iodine added. Our PDV salt is supplied without additives unless stated.
