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.

Is sulfur a poison?
sulfur is poisonous as it is dangerous because sulfur is consists of chemicals able to kill once drank or injected in the body. Another answer: Sulfur in small quantities is not by itself poisonous. (see Related Questions for list of poisonous elements). Although sulfur dioxide is sufficiently safe to be used as a food additive in small amounts, at high concentrations it reacts with moisture to form sulfurous acid which in sufficient quantities may harm the lungs, eyes, or other tissues. In organisms without lungs such as insects or plants, it otherwise prevents respiration. Sulfur is the component of both Mustard Gas and Sulfuric Acid. Other input: If it's used in insecticides and pesticides, I wouldn't experiment with that question. ;)
