Shoot, I just learned to put rice in the container with the sale and pepper. Can be used for a long time and doesn't take much.
The "best if used by" stamp is used by some due to some regulations, and by some due to standards of quality.
Libertarians would throw a fit about this....
But once salt is mined and ground down for use - it will "hydrolyze" or absorb water from the air, and then cake, stick together, and lose it's purity.

Perhaps it is the container that expires. I've never heard of salt going bad. In fact I buy kosher salt by the five pound box and keep it for brining for several years at a time. Now that kosher salt has been processed in some way, so I know it's "contaminated" and yours states it is uncontaminated so it shouldn't go bad. I'm sure it will stay pristine if you don't open it. But that container thing seems a little iffy.
