What it is

Iron phosphate is a mineral compound that combines iron and phosphate. It is often produced synthetically for use as a food additive. Iron is an essential nutrient for the human body.

Why it's used

Iron phosphate is used as a nutrient supplement to fortify foods, particularly cereals and grain products, with iron. It can also function as a dough conditioner in baked goods. It is found in products like enriched rice and pasta.

Health notes

In the US, iron phosphate is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a nutrient supplement. Iron is vital for oxygen transport in the blood. Excessive iron intake can be harmful, but typical dietary levels from fortified foods are not a concern for most people. JECFA has evaluated iron phosphate and established an acceptable daily intake.

Allergen info

Iron phosphate is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
