Sulfites

http://www.livingwithout.com/features/feature-sulfite.html

I highly reccommend reading this article, even though it is just an excerpt, as I know many folks who have issues with Celiac Disease also have issues with Sulfites (Me and my dad). I have a very mild aversion, and my dad's is very severe.

It Lists what items include sulfites in packaging, and where to get Sulfite-free items.

Beware though, if you have severe Sulfite allergies, you may have to do without your favorite dried fruits and veggies- and you may have to severely limit your exposure to these same veggies in raw or cooked form. Be careful and definitely do your homework!
