If you live in the United States then the Delaney Clause does not allow anything to enter our foods that can possibly cause cancer. Additionally our food supply is considered one of the safest in the world because our government is so paranoid about what enters our food supply. For this reason I wouldn't be scared to eat foods because of this preservative. Also, there has not been any research that links any form of health issues with preservatives although there are a few cases where people are allergic to the chemicals. In this case one should see their doctor.
