What it is
Mixed tocopherols are a group of naturally occurring compounds found in vegetable oils, especially soybean oil. They are extracted from these oils and purified. Mixed tocopherols are used as antioxidants to prevent fats and oils in food from going rancid.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add mixed tocopherols to foods to extend shelf life by preventing oxidation, which can cause spoilage and off-flavors. They are commonly found in products containing fats and oils, such as baked goods, cereals, and confectioneries.
Health notes
Mixed tocopherols are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as an antioxidant. 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 consuming mixed tocopherols at typical dietary levels.
Allergen info
Mixed tocopherols are derived from soy, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Consumers with soy allergies should avoid products containing this ingredient.
