Hi....in G6PD deficiency individuals sulphites should be avoided. I am here with giving you a list of foods that can contain sulphites. I admitting that I have collected this information for the internet as I feel it my responsibility to guide you through when you are here with a query.

Sulphites are often found in:

baked items, like cakes and cookies
bottled lemon and lime juice
frozen or canned fruits and veggies
cornmeal and cornstarch
crackers
sauces like ketchup and mustard
processed meat, like hot dogs and sausages
dried fruits and veggies (including raisins)
dried spices and herbs
tea
fish and shellfish
fresh grapes
jams, preserves and fruit pie fillings
lettuce
fruit and veggie juices
prepared potatoes (like frozen fries, dehydrated potato)
chips and candy
prepared rice and noodle mixes
soy products
processed tomato (like tomato puree or tomato paste)
vinegar
