Traditional sauerkraut is made through a fermentation process that relies on the natural lactic acid produced by bacteria, without the addition of vinegar. However, some recipes or commercial versions may include vinegar to enhance flavor or speed up the fermentation process. While this can create a similar taste, it technically differs from authentic sauerkraut, which is purely fermented cabbage.

Can you have allergic reactions to sauerkraut?

* It would most likely be more a reaction to the preservatives in the sauerkraut than to the cabbage itself. * I agree with the answer above. In addition, I have "allergic" reactions to sauerkraut, even organic sauerkraut without preservatives. (Apart from not being able to cope with preservatives of any kind) I have allergy/ intolerance to cabbage (and, unfortunately, anything else in that food family such as cauliflower) and I have an allergy/intolerance to vinegar and fermented products of any kind. This is sad because I like sauerkraut, vinegar, pickles, soy and fermented products.
