What is this? Some canned corn from Mexico may have sulfur dioxide added. Sulfur dioxide is a chemical that keeps food fresh longer.

What's happening? The corn does not say on the label that it has sulfur dioxide. This is against the rules.

Does this affect me? If you are allergic to sulfur dioxide, this corn could be unsafe for you.

What should I do? Do not eat the corn if you are allergic to sulfur dioxide. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you are unsure.
