Remember, the best rule for your safety and protection from a sulfite allergy is to always "Eat Fresh". Sulfites are actually a preservative. Therefore their frequency is always going to show up in products which must rely on shelf life, whether that is meats (only needing 1-2 days) or packaged goods which are dependent on much longer times. Sulfite free foods can easily be found at many local farmer's markets, fresh butchers or even in your backyard garden.

I have actually met people, my mother was one of them, that was never even told she would have this problem with sulfites.
Occasionally she would end up with a bad asthma attack and we never even knew why or what had happened.
