What it is

Sulfites are compounds that contain sulfur and oxygen. They occur naturally in small amounts in some foods and are also produced by the body. In food, they are often added as salts or are generated from other ingredients.

Why it's used

Sulfites act as preservatives by preventing spoilage from bacteria, yeast, and mold. They also help maintain the color and flavor of foods, and can prevent browning in fruits and vegetables. They are commonly found in baked goods, dried fruits, wine, and some processed meats.

Health notes

In the US, sulfites are regulated by the FDA as a food additive. They are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in many foods. However, some individuals, particularly those with asthma, may experience sensitivity reactions to sulfites, such as hives, breathing difficulties, or stomach upset. The FDA requires foods containing more than 10 parts per million of sulfites to declare their presence on the label. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated sulfites and established acceptable daily intake levels.

Allergen info

Sulfites are not one of the nine major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
