Salt can absorb moisture under certain conditions, so storage and logistics can affect flow behavior. Caking may result from packaging and environmental conditions as well as product characteristics.

Separate moisture sources

Warehouse humidity, floor contact, damaged bags, container condensation and temperature changes are different sources of risk.

Control pallet and floor contact

Avoid direct contact with damp floors and maintain pallet integrity.

Review packaging barrier

Outer bags, liners and packaging structure should be selected for expected transport and storage conditions.

Use FIFO and monitor storage time

First-in-first-out rotation and avoiding unnecessary long storage can reduce risk.

Investigate complaints with context

Record transport date, warehouse conditions and packaging integrity in addition to the product lot.
