What it is

Mixed tocopherol is a group of eight fat-soluble compounds, all related to vitamin E. They are naturally found in vegetable oils, nuts, and seeds. Industrially, they are often produced by chemically processing vegetable oils.

Why it's used

Mixed tocopherols are primarily used as antioxidants to prevent fats and oils in foods from going rancid and spoiling. This helps extend the shelf life of packaged foods. They are commonly found in baked goods, cereals, and snack foods.

Health notes

Mixed tocopherols are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food additive. They are a form of vitamin E, which is an essential nutrient. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated tocopherols. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.

Allergen info

Mixed tocopherols are not derived from any of the nine major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
