It might be used as either a type of preservative, or to keep the salt free-flowing. In any case, why don't you contact the golden arches directly? Here's the contact info: http://www.mcdonalds.com/contact/contact_us.html

Mcdonald's doesn't do anything...they call up the salt company and say HEY we need salt..and they company throws their name on it.
Dextrose is for perserving it longer for self life

There is one major brand of salt which has sugar listed as an ingredient. Very scary.

That's an odd one. I 'll ask a medical friend as to whether this could be a bad thing...

dunno. dextrose is only glucose, or blood sugar, harmless, but i dont have a packet here and dont suppose it can hurt you in anyway, might be a filler to save money.
