Objective To provide a scientific basis for regulatory authorities to develop management measures， sulfur dioxide residues and risk in typical foods in Hubei province market was studied.Methods A total of 1 867 samples of 10 typical foods were collected from supermarkets and farmers’ markets in 15 cities （states） in Hubei province， including day lily （dried）， bamboo shoots （dried）， Yuba （dried）， tremella （dried）， enoki mushroom （fresh）， mushroom （fresh）， pumpkin seeds， konjac powder， pueraria powder and wine. Sulfur dioxide residues were detected according to GB/T 5009.34-2003. The point assessment method was used to calculate the residents’ intake of sulfur dioxide and the exposure risk.Results The total over-limit ratio of 10 types of food was 20.03%（374/1 867）， and the descending order was tremella （dried） ［36.93%（106/287）］， day lily （dried） ［35.10%（106/302）］， Yuba （dried） ［28.31%（77/272）］， pueraria powder ［17.65%（15/85）］， konjac powder ［13.64%（6/44）］， pumpkin seeds ［13.28%（34/256）］， bamboo shoots （dried） ［10.81%（24/222）］， mushroom （fresh） ［3.17%（4/126）］， wine ［1.92%（1/52）］ and enoki mushroom （fresh） ［0.45%（1/221）］. The mean value of sulfur dioxide residues in 10 types of food ranged from 0.02 to 1.18 g/kg. The average daily dietary intake of sulfur dioxide of residents in Hubei province ranged from 0.28 to 0.59 mg/kg?BW?d， and the daily intake （97.5 th percentile， P97.5） of people with high food consumption was 1.81~3.78 mg/kg?BW?d， which exceeded the ADI （0~0.7 mg/kg?BW?d）.Conclusion Sulfur dioxide residues in day lily （dried）， tremella （dried） and Yuba （dried） were more serious in Hubei province. The average daily intake of sulfur dioxide of residents was acceptable， but the high food consumption of population hasd a high health risk.
