Potential Warnings & Concerns

1. Allergies:

   • Raisins contain sulfites (if processed with sulfur dioxide, a common preservative) and may trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
   • Cross-contamination with tree nuts (e.g., almonds) is possible in facilities that process multiple products.

2. Sulfur Dioxide (E220–E228):

   • Many raisins, including Kilis varieties, are treated with sulfites to prevent spoilage and maintain color. While generally safe for most people, high consumption may cause:
     • Asthma symptoms (in sensitive individuals).
     • Digestive discomfort (e.g., bloating, nausea) in excessive amounts.
   • Check the label for sulfite content if you have sulfite sensitivity.
