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.
Sulfur dioxide is a preservative and the e number is e220.
Sulphur Dioxide preserves food by killing bacteria

Some foods are treated with sulfur dioxide as a preservative measure. It's not done as much as it once was, and for most people it doesn't appear to cause much of a problem... though a few people do seem to be allergic.
Yes, sulfur dioxide (SO2) is often used as a preservative for its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties in fruits and wines.
If it is bonded to a metal, then it is a polyatomic ion, sulfite If it is alone, then it is sulfur dioxide
no i really dont recomand that
No. Sulfur dioxide is acidic.
Sulfur + Oxygen = Sulfur Dioxide
No, sulfur is an element and sulfur dioxide is a gaseous compound. Sulfur dioxide is the combustion product of sulfur in an oxygen atmosphere (S+O2 --> SO2) Where sulfur is an element, sulfur dioxide is a compound and where sulfur is an insoluble yellow solid, sulfur dioxide is a colorless soluble gas.
No. Sulfur dioxide is sulfur and oxygen. Carbon dioxide is carbon and oxygen. They are two different substances.
Burning sulfur in oxygen produces sulfur dioxide.
