First, they (= team, in this case, with Rodney as their unknowing participant) can freak out Sam and Jeannie. (Want to read! Want!) And the scientists, who are just not used to working like this. How can they concentrate?, always waiting for the berating to start and spooked when nobody insults their intelligence (maybe they all become really arrogant until Beckett loses his patience and messes up Rodney´s diet.) Maybe they could try a good cop/bad cop thing - on some days they slip him Earth-processed food, always when the others are getting used to the more mellow McKay, to keep them on their toes. And of course, on missions, it´s just no fun to watch all the horrible architecture and the ridiculous rituals without Rodney ranting about it properly. Their whole dynamic is off, suddenly the boring missions really are boring and they´re not supposed to be! Poor team. It will take them a long time to get used to it, I think. I don´t know anything whatsoever about allergies or potassium sorbate, but the potential...
Also, Rod is allergic. Only, in his universe potassium sorbate isn´t used as a food preservative (what, maybe it´s possible, alternate universe after all.) After he comes back from this universe (where he ate!), he´s much more sarcastic and mean to everyone and nobody knows why. And then one day the food industry introduces potassium sorbate and everyone thinks he´s been taken over by an alien entity...
