A couple of more pence:

Once source states that table salt is 99.9% NaCl, with the remaining
0.1% being iodide and non-caking agents, such as calcium silicate and
sugar (the sugar might have some preservative effect on the iodide as
well). Sea salt is supposed to be 95-98% NaCl, with the other 5-2% being
trace minerals from the sea. This includes sulfur as a sulfite, but it
didn't mention sulfides, nor actual amounts/percentages of the various
minerals. There were a lot.
