I bought salt without a hechsher by mistake, and just stuck in the back of my closet when I realized. Now I am completely out of salt, (and I dont live anywhere near a grocery), can I use it??? The only other ingredient is calcium silicate.

Thanks ladies.

For Pesach, yes, because it can contain starch to improve flow; otherwise, no.

I guess I wasn't clear. That's what I meant, that it doesn't need one.

Is calcium silicate an additive? If so it needs a hechsher according to that link.
