What it is

This ingredient refers to foods that have had vitamins A and D added to them. These vitamins are essential nutrients that the body needs to function. They are often added to foods to help people get enough of these vitamins in their diet, especially if they don't get enough from natural sources.

Why it's used

Vitamins A and D are added to foods to increase their nutritional value. They are commonly found in products like cereals, milk, and spreads. Manufacturers add them to help consumers meet their daily recommended intake of these important vitamins.

Health notes

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers the addition of vitamins and minerals to foods to be safe and beneficial for public health. Both vitamins A and D are essential for maintaining good health. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated these vitamins, and they are recognized as safe when consumed within recommended amounts. Excessive intake of vitamin A can lead to toxicity, but this is rare from food sources alone.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Vitamins A and D themselves are not among the nine major allergens. However, the food they are added to may contain allergens.
