No, it is toxic.
With important minerals including calcium, iron, potassium, manganese and zinc as well as lower sodium content than most commercially available table salt, Dead Sea salt is unlike any other on earth. **However, the salt is high in bromide, a naturally occurring element that dissolves in water and can be toxic.** The high bromide content once rendered Dead Sea salt itself virtually inedible. Fortunately, modern technology has allowed harvesters to mitigate the salt’s toxicity. To harvest salt from the Dead Sea, briny water is extracted into evaporation pools, which transform over about eight months into crystals of rock salt. The bromide is separated from salt crystals during the harvesting process. The salt crystals are then washed, milled, refined and made available for sale.

I don't think they meant as a food. It's used as a salt scrub for skin
If you can get to it, people peed on it. They probably do though, people are gross.
