It has nothing to do with being blessed. Jews do not have any equivalent to holy water and the idea to have a 'competing' product that represents 'christianity' is absurd. If it was called large crystal salt, there would be no response from a wacky religious group. Right-wing Christians feel like they have to defend themselves against the encroachment of other religious groups even if it is something as mundane as salt. the ‘kosher’ terms comes from the large crystals that are used to process meat according to Jewish law.
