What it is
Iron phosphate is a mineral compound that provides iron. It is often produced by combining iron salts with phosphate salts. It is commonly used as a nutrient to fortify foods with iron.
Why it's used
Iron phosphate is added to foods to increase their iron content, helping to prevent iron deficiency. It is frequently found in enriched grain products like cereals and pasta, as well as in some infant formulas and nutritional supplements.
Health notes
In the U.S., iron phosphate is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a nutrient supplement. Iron is an essential mineral for the body, and adequate intake is important for health. JECFA has evaluated iron phosphate and established an acceptable daily intake. While iron is vital, excessive iron intake can be harmful, but this is rarely due to food fortification alone.
Allergen info
Iron phosphate is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
