What it is

Folic acid is a synthetic form of the B vitamin folate. It is commonly manufactured through chemical synthesis. Folate is essential for cell growth and DNA formation.

Why it's used

Folic acid is added to foods as a nutrient to help prevent neural tube defects in developing fetuses. It is often found in enriched grain products like bread, pasta, and cereals, as well as in some other processed foods.

Health notes

In the U.S., folic acid is permitted in food as a nutrient supplement and is considered Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The World Health Organization (WHO) has evaluated folic acid. High intakes of folic acid from supplements or fortified foods have been a topic of discussion regarding potential masking of vitamin B12 deficiency, though evidence is mixed.

Allergen info

Folic acid is not derived from any of the FDA's major allergens and does not contain gluten.
