Since the majority of the cost of salt mix is freight one must wonder how they can sell it so cheap. What quality are the chems used?

It's not correct to assume that just because no one else complained that it's not the salt. It's also not correct to assume that just because part of a batch is ok that the whole batch will be ok.

Just as not correct to assume it was the salt though, no?

A fair guess, sure, but an absolute, it is not.

The salt can be tested and this can be put to rest.

I would contact IO if this happened to me.
