What it is

D-alpha-tocopheryl acetate is a synthetic form of vitamin E, a fat-soluble nutrient. It is made by chemically modifying alpha-tocopherol, which is naturally found in vegetable oils and nuts.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add it to foods as a source of vitamin E, which acts as an antioxidant. It is often found in fortified foods like infant formulas, nutritional drinks, and some baked goods.

JECFA and EFSA have evaluated vitamin E and its derivatives. Evidence does not suggest adverse effects from typical dietary intakes.
