  Use of canning or pickling salt is recommended. Fermented and
  non-fermented pickles may be safely made using either iodized or
  non-iodized table salt. However, non-caking materials added to
  table salts may make the brine cloudy. Flake salt varies in density
  and is not recommended for use.
  
  Reduced-sodium salts, for example, "Lite Salt" may be used in quick
  pickle recipes, as indicated in this guide. The pickles may,
  however, have a slightly different taste than expected.

  Caution:

  Use of reduced-sodium salt in fermented pickle recipes is not
  recommended.
