Sulphor Dioxide- bad?!


Question: Sulphor Dioxide- bad!?
So I wanted a healthy snack and bought some dried apricots!. I decided to buy the local variety which had great color and twice the price!. So just as I started to enjoy I noticed the two ingredients one of which was this preservative and it totally impeded my enjoyment!.
Not really interested in the FDA's opinion- Thanks for the info!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's preservative!. It is often added to dried fruits!.

No need to worry UNLESS you are allergic to sulphites- most people are not allergic to sulphites!.
