What are sulfites and should we be concerned about them?
Sulfites are a class of compounds added to wine and other foods as a preservative. They are natural compounds that have been used as an anti-oxidant and anti-microbial agent in wines since early recorded history. Concern arose over sulfites when people got sick by eating food at salad bars that was treated with very high levels of sulfites.
