 Set this flag to skip TLS certificate validation when pulling from a registry. It is supposed to be used for testing purposes only and should not be used in production!
 
-#### --additional-whitelist
-Set this flag with a list of filepaths and Kaniko will ignore these paths during the build. Useful for improving build performance on large filesystems.
-
 #### --snapshotMode
 
 You can set the `--snapshotMode=<full (default), time>` flag to set how kaniko will snapshot the filesystem.
