I was thinking about this but thinking what would happen if you added vinegar to salt with the anti-caking agent in it?

Vinegar is acetic acid between 5 and 10%.
It is a weak acid much weaker than HCl --> no problem.
Check for pH (acidity)...

You also have to watch for Kc the complexation constant of polycyano iron what is very high...unless you have a good oxydo-redox reaction at work, you won't be able to set the cyanide free from the polycyanoferrate or from the polycyanoferrite...

The dose makes the poison


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_dose_makes_the_poison
It is credited to Paracelsus who expressed the classic toxicology maxim
"All things are poison and nothing is without poison; only the dose makes a thing not a poison."


Seems logical.

EDIT: I mean that short-term overdose of almost anything can kill but we have to continuously consume stuff,
so logically not all poisons are LINEARLY cumulative,
we are born with the means of countering the accumulation of most toxins.

Next topic please ....
