So, what is calcium hydrogen sulphite?

Calcium hydrogen sulphite is a food preservative that is commonly used to extend the shelf life of various food products. It is a white crystalline powder with a slight sulfurous odor and a slightly acidic taste. Calcium hydrogen sulphite works by inhibiting the growth of mold, bacteria, and yeasts, which can cause spoilage in food. It also helps to maintain the color, texture, and flavor of the food. However, it should be used in moderation as excessive consumption may lead to health issues like allergic reactions, asthma, and digestive problems.
