What it is

Ferrous sulfate is a type of iron, a mineral naturally found in the body and in many foods. Thiamine mononitrate is a synthetic form of thiamine, also known as vitamin B1. Both are often added to foods as supplements.

Why it's used

These ingredients are added to foods to increase their nutritional value, specifically to provide iron and vitamin B1. They are often found in fortified foods like cereals, bread products, and infant formulas.

Health notes

Ferrous sulfate is used as an iron supplement and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. Thiamine mononitrate is also GRAS and is used as a nutrient supplement. Both are essential nutrients. JECFA has evaluated both substances and set acceptable daily intakes. High doses of iron can cause digestive upset, but typical amounts in fortified foods are unlikely to cause adverse effects.

Allergen info

Neither ferrous sulfate nor thiamine mononitrate are derived from any of the FDA's major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
