What it is

Niacin, also known as Vitamin B3, is a water-soluble vitamin essential for human health. It is found naturally in foods like meat, fish, eggs, and some vegetables. In the US, it is commonly added to refined grains like flour and cereal as part of fortification programs.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add niacin to enriched flour and cereals to help prevent deficiencies. It plays a vital role in converting food into energy the body can use. It is a common ingredient in baked goods, pasta, and breakfast cereals.

Health notes

Niacin is recognized as safe and effective by the FDA when added to foods as a nutrient. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have also evaluated niacin. High doses of niacin, typically from supplements, can cause side effects like skin flushing, but these are not usually seen from food sources.

Allergen info

Niacin itself is not a major allergen. Enriched flour is typically made from wheat, which is a major allergen and contains gluten.
