Everything about Sulfite totally explained
Sulfites (also
sulphites) are
compounds that contain the sulfite
ion SO32−.
Commercial use in wine
Sulfites occur naturally in almost all wines. They are also added to wine as
preservatives to prevent spoilage and
oxidation.
In the
US, wine bottled after mid-
1987 must have a label stating that they contain sulfites if they contain more than 10 parts per million.
In the
EU an equivalent regulation came into force in November
2005.
Organic wines are not necessarily sulfite-free.
Some humans are allergic to sulfites. It is an undeclared allergen that may cause breathing difficulty within minutes after eating a food containing sulfites.
Asthmatics and people with allergies to
aspirin (also known as
salicylate sensitivity) are at an elevated risk for reaction to sulfites.
The reaction can be fatal and requires immediate treatment at an emergency room, and can include
sneezing, swelling of the
throat, and
hives. Those who are allergic to sulfites are urged to avoid products that could contain them.
