Sulphites are used to maintain appearance, increase shelf-life, and prevent the growth of hazardous microorganisms (e.g, fungi, bacteria).
The European Commission would like to consult interested stakeholders on sulphur dioxide-sulphites (E 220-228) with respect to: a) the authorisations of E 226-228 and b) the uses of E 220-228 in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 on food additives.
