Can I claim that my product is free from preservatives when it has detectable natural occurring sulphites?

Updated by SFA
Sulphites in concentrations of 10 mg/kg or more is listed as one of the ingredients that cause hypersensitivity to individuals and must always be declared. Therefore, if sulphur dioxide and/or sulphites are directly added to the food or carried over from food ingredients at a total concentration of 10 mg/kg or more (calculated in terms of total sulphur dioxide), their presence must be made known to consumers on the product label.
