So, what is sulfite de potassium?

Potassium sulfite is a food ingredient commonly used as a preservative and antioxidant in various processed foods. It is a white crystalline powder with a slight sulfurous odor and a bitter taste. Potassium sulfite is known for its ability to inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi, which helps to extend the shelf life of food products. It is commonly used in wines, dried fruits, and meat products to prevent spoilage and discoloration. Although potassium sulfite is generally recognized as safe by the FDA, it can cause allergic reactions in some people, particularly those with asthma or sulfite sensitivity.
