Allergic to additives?

accreditation
Sulphur dioxide, sodium benzoate and tartrazine are well-known additives that may be to blame for these allergy symptoms.

Take action:

Avoid the following foods:

  • fruit juices and dried fruit, which are treated with sulphur dioxide to prevent oxidation
  • “droëwors” and “boerewors”, both of which are also preserved with sulphur
  • beer and wine
  • pickles
  • certain sauces
  • and hamburger patties

Make a point of reading food labels to check for these additives.
