The present invention relates to a non-caking salt composition wherein the salt is an inorganic salt, comprising a transition metal complex or an aluminium complex of a (derivatised) carbohydrate as a non-caking agent. Transition metals which can be used according to the present invention are transition metals capable of forming octahedral mixed chloride-oxide structures. The non-caking salt compositions according to the invention can be used as table salt, road salt, or in electrolysis operations.
