Sulfites

Sulfites are preservatives used in wine, dried fruits, and some processed foods. For most breastfeeding mothers, consuming foods with sulfites is safe. Those with sulfite sensitivity or asthma may experience reactions themselves, but transfer through breast milk at typical dietary levels is not considered a risk to nursing infants.

Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
