So, what is sodium sulfites?

Sodium sulfites are a type of inorganic salt that are commonly used as a preservative in the food industry. They are white, odorless crystals that dissolve easily in water, and are known for their ability to prevent discoloration and spoilage in a wide variety of food products. Sodium sulfites work by inhibiting the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms that can cause spoilage, making them an effective tool in food preservation. However, they may cause allergic reactions in some individuals, and their use is regulated by many countries due to their potential health effects.
