What it is

Folic acid is a synthetic form of folate, a B vitamin. Folate is naturally found in many foods, including leafy green vegetables, fruits, and beans. Folic acid is often added to foods to increase their folate content.

Why it's used

Folic acid is added to foods as a nutrient to help increase folate intake. It is commonly found in enriched grain products such as breads, cereals, pasta, and rice. It is also added to some other processed foods.

Health notes

In the U.S., folic acid is approved by the FDA as a nutrient additive for enriched foods. Adequate folate intake is important for cell growth and development. The FDA requires folic acid to be added to most refined grain products to help reduce the risk of neural tube defects in infants. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated folic acid and set acceptable daily intakes.

Allergen info

Folic acid is not derived from any of the 9 major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
