Note that all fermented products, such as beer and wine, contain natural sulfites. They can also contain added sulfites.<\/p>\n

According to Quality Attibutes and Their Measurement in Meat, Poultry and Fish Products<\/em> By Albert Marchant Pearson, sulfites are excellent at preserving the colour of fresh meat.\u00a0 It is supposedly illegal to use for this purpose in the US, but still happens.\u00a0 It is legal to add sulfites to pork sausages in the UK.\u00a0 Apparently, sulfites can also reduce the incidents of salmonella growth in meat.<\/p>\n

Note<\/strong> that it seems odd that pork would have naturally occurring sulfites, however the reader that suggested this reports that she reacts to all pork, even when cooked at home.\u00a0 It could be that it contains sulfites, or that she is sensitive to pork.\u00a0 Please share your own experience with pork: does it cause you problems or not?<\/p>\n
Personal Care Products<\/h2>\n
The following may contain sulfites.\u00a0 Check each item\/brand that you use with the manufacturer before using.<\/p>\n
