From what I heard, salt is usually packaged with iodine or some substances that prevent clumping that expire over time. So after some time the salt won't have those anymore, but it should be safe to consume. Salt cannot spoil because bacteria cannot grow in salty places.
Don't know how plastic containers relate to that sadly.
Iodine in salt is a health measure, people were not getting enough iodine, so they added it to the salt
But that's not going to degrade.
I get plenty of iodine, you just have to live in Pripyat and you can breathe the stuff!
Just get a taste of that fresh, metallic air!
