You are very welcome. Lots of buffet type presentations do use sulfites to keep foods fresher looking.......but if one has an allergy to sulfites, it's bad news.

Why I thought of it for Gracie....was that considering she could eat seafood in her earlier years, with no problems..........the later symptoms "might" have been caused by the sulfites which the seafood had been soaked in or sulfites might have been sprayed on them...........and she might have a sulfite allergy rather than a shellfish allergy. Either one is not good.

There is a huge difference in the quality of freshly caught New England shellfish and that which is hanging around a store for a long time....or sitting on a buffet........
