Andorra · Food concerns
This Andorra guide connects sulphite questions with recorded wine and prune examples, treating sulphite sensitivity separately from IgE allergy language.
Editorial draft based on recorded food connections. Country-specific recipe connections await independent review; label research is identified separately below. This is not a list of suitable meals.
Understanding the food context
This Andorra reference brings together recorded dishes and ingredients to help you prepare questions about sulphites. It describes catalogue connections, not the suitability of a restaurant meal.
Examples to investigate include Civet de llebre, Civet de senglar, Fricandó, Peres al vi. Open a dish to see its recorded ingredients, then check the version being served: recipes and bought-in sauces can differ.
Sulphite sensitivity is distinct from the food-protein allergies covered elsewhere in this library.
Read the ingredient connections and check the product actually used.
Recorded dishes are examples to discuss, not suitability recommendations.

The records note that red and white wine commonly contain sulphites, although the red-wine record says this is not universal. Some commercially dried prunes may be treated with sulphites.
These are formulation-dependent examples. Sulphite sensitivity is not an IgE allergy, so ask whether sulphites are present in the actual product or recipe.
Ask the kitchen
Are sulphites present in this wine or dried fruit?
Civet de llebre and Civet de senglar are linked with red wine in marinade or sauce. Fricandó is linked with white wine, and Peres al vi with red wine.
Ask which wine and product are used in the current preparation. Do not assume that cooking or fermentation removes sulphites from a dish.
Ask the kitchen
Which wine or dried fruit is used in this dish?
Follow the complete recipe
These ingredients are linked to dishes recorded for Andorra and to this food concern. A link is a prompt to check the exact product, not a statement about every recipe.
Ask whether the red or white wine used contains sulphites and whether the prune product has been treated with them. The records describe these properties as common or formulation-dependent.
Identify the exact wine or dried-fruit product. A generic ingredient name does not settle the question for the serving being considered.
Ask the kitchen
What is the sulphite status of the exact product?
Some commercially dried prunes may be treated with sulfites, but this is formulation-dependent.
Sulfites are commonly present in wine from fermentation or added preservation, though not universal.
Sulfites are commonly used as preservatives in wine.
Recorded examples, recipes vary
Recorded recipes give you useful questions to ask. This is not a list of dishes declared suitable or unsuitable for every person.
Platesafe has no recorded sulphites connection for these dishes. This does not confirm they are free from sulphites. Recipes and preparation vary—check with the food provider.

A verified summary of Andorra’s label rules and local translations has not yet been added to this guide. Do not assume that the rules or terms used at home apply here.
Use the original packaging and full ingredient list when asking about a product. Ingredient pages contain recorded local names; check the language and the exact food form. A menu name alone does not describe the full recipe.
Check the exact food and its form. For sulphites, use the ingredient entries below to investigate recorded names. A name for a whole ingredient may not describe a powder, extract or mixed sauce. Confirm which product the kitchen uses.
Keep the original packet or a clear photograph available when asking for help. Ingredient recognition and a complete restaurant request are different tasks: a translated name alone does not explain the preparation you need.
Before you order
Contact the restaurant before your visit and explain your requirements to someone who can check the kitchen. Ask about the full recipe, bought-in ingredients and shared preparation equipment. These are general planning steps, not a claim about local restaurant practices.
Ask whether wine or commercially dried prunes are used and whether the exact products contain sulphites. Ask about marinades, sauces, desserts, and garnishes.
This is a sulphite-content question, not an IgE-allergy label question. It also does not answer preparation contact.
Ask the kitchen
Which ingredients in the recipe contain sulphites?
Ask separately when wine or prune products are added and how the dish is prepared and served. The records do not establish what happens to sulphites during cooking.
Do not treat cooking, fermentation, or reduction as confirmation that sulphites are absent.
Ask the kitchen
How are the wine or prune ingredients used and handled?
Can you check the complete recipe and ingredient labels for sulphites, including sauces, garnishes and preparation equipment?
