Contain Niacin

Niacin, also known as Vitamin B3, is an essential nutrient that plays a role in energy production and cell health. It can be found naturally in foods like meat, fish, and whole grains, and is also produced synthetically for use as a food additive.

Niacin is added to foods as a nutrient to help fortify products and prevent deficiencies. It is commonly found in enriched grain products like bread and cereal, as well as in some processed foods.

In the U.S., niacin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used as a nutrient. The U.S. National Academies have established a tolerable upper intake level for niacin. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have also evaluated niacin. High doses of niacin, typically from supplements rather than food, can cause side effects like skin flushing.
