B-2

B-2 is another name for Riboflavin, a type of B vitamin. It is found naturally in foods like eggs, meat, and dairy. It can also be produced synthetically for use as a food additive.

Riboflavin is often added to foods to fortify them with vitamin B2, helping to prevent deficiencies. It is also used as a yellow colorant in various food products. You can find it in cereals, breads, dairy products, and infant formulas.

Riboflavin is recognized as safe and effective by the FDA when used as a nutrient supplement or color additive. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated riboflavin and established an acceptable daily intake. High doses of riboflavin can cause urine to turn a bright yellow color, but this is generally considered harmless.
