Can salt lose its flavor?

Taste of salt

I sthink you can't call salt a flavor (black and white aren't colours)
Salts has his taste and holds its taste.
It is a mineral that stays for ever.
You can mix it with any sthink even eat it but on the end its come out as the taste salt.

I can recall eating C-Rations in 1973 that were boxed in 1943, each box contained a package of salt. After 30 years it was still salt!

I believe it is possible for some types of salt to lose their flavor. Observe the following:

"Salt produced by the evaporation of sea-water in hot countries is said sometimes to lose its saline properties. The same result is also sometimes seen in impure rock-salt that has long been exposed to the air. When such is the case there can nothing be done with it but to throw it out into the highway, where men and beasts trample it down." ("Manners & Customs of the Bible" by James M. Freeman, page 335)
