- Sulfites – Sulfites are often used as preservatives in dried fruits, preserved radish, and dried potato products. Most beers no longer contain sulfites, although some alcoholic ciders contain them. Although shrimp are sometimes treated with sulfites on fishing vessels, the chemical may not appear on the label. In 1986, the Food and Drug Administration in the United States banned the addition of sulfites to all fresh fruit and vegetables that are eaten raw.
- Sorbates – Dairy -> Cheese, yogurt, dips using dairy products, margarines, mayonnaise and sour cream contain potassium sorbate. These products are processed using potassium sorbate to extend their shelf life by inhibiting the growth of certain molds, yeast and bacteria. Some Wines -> Potassium sorbate, in the form of sorbic acid, is a relatively new additive found in some wines. Sorbic acid is produced when potassium sorbate is dissolved in water. The antimicrobial properties of sorbic acid were first discovered in the 1940s, when the additive was used to prevent the refermentation of semisweet and sweet wines. Dry red or white wines do not contain sorbic acid, as these wines have no sugar present and therefore are not at risk of refermentation. You will not find sorbic acid in organic wines, either, since it is not allowed as an additive, nor will it typically appear in wines from commercial wineries, which use a sterile filtration system when bottling.

- Nitrates – They’re found in our diets in several ways: as synthetic food preservatives and naturally occurring in fruits and vegetables like spinach and celery. Sodium nitrate and potassium nitrite are added to cured meat to preserve its color, prevent fats from going rancid, and stop bacteria from growing. They’re also found in drinking water thanks to nitrogen-based fertilizers as well as livestock waste. Here’s where things get tricky: If nitrites are exposed to high heat during cooking, they can convert to nitrosamines, which are carcinogenic. And when nitrates are used as a food additive or consumed, they can convert into nitrites.

- Soy Foods – Many foods containing soy — such as tofu, soy meat alternatives, soy sauce, soy flour and soybean oil — can be found in supermarkets as well as natural, health and Asian food stores. There are many types of food alternatives made with soy, such as soy bacon, cheese, “chicken-less” nuggets, corn dogs, hamburgers, hot dogs and ice cream. Be adventurous
