What is sulfite and why is it used?

Sulfite acts as an antioxidant in small quantities, stabilizer in larger doses, and a sanitizer in extreme doses. Potassium Metabisulfite and Sodium Metabisulfite are the more common preparations, and can be found in powder or pill form known also as Campden Tablets. Few people are sensitive to sulfites, and should consult a physician before using such products.
