What it is
Ferric phosphate is an inorganic salt that is a source of iron. It is made from iron and phosphorus compounds. It is often used as a nutrient supplement.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add ferric phosphate to foods as a source of iron, which is an essential nutrient. It is commonly found in fortified cereals, grain products, and nutritional supplements. It helps to increase the iron content of these foods.
Health notes
Ferric phosphate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a nutrient supplement. Iron is essential for human health, and deficiency can lead to anemia. Excessive iron intake can be harmful, but the amounts typically found in fortified foods are considered safe. JECFA has evaluated iron compounds and established acceptable daily intakes.
Allergen info
Ferric phosphate is not one of the nine major allergens and does not contain gluten.
