Is Sodium Metabisulfite Whole30 Compliant?

No, sodium metabisulfite is not Whole30 compliant.

According to official Whole30 guidelines, sulfites—including sodium metabisulfite, potassium metabisulfite, and sodium bisulfite—are not allowed during the program. These additives are often used as preservatives in dried fruits, wines, and some packaged foods.

  • Whole30 explicitly bans all forms of added sulfites.
  • Check ingredient labels for any mention of sodium metabisulfite or related additives.
  • Consuming products with this ingredient will break Whole30 compliance.

If you are following the Whole30 program, choose foods and ingredients that are free from added sulfites.
