Niacin Reduced Ironl Thiamine Mononitrate

Reduced iron is a form of iron used to fortify foods. It is made by reducing iron oxides. Thiamine mononitrate is a synthetic form of vitamin B1 (thiamine), a nutrient essential for energy metabolism.

These are added to foods as nutrients to help prevent deficiencies. They are commonly found in enriched grain products like bread, cereals, and pasta, as well as some baked goods and frozen meals.

Reduced iron and thiamine mononitrate are considered safe and effective when used as nutrients in food. The FDA lists them as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for food fortification. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated thiamine and set an acceptable daily intake. Iron is an essential nutrient, and excessive intake can be harmful, but fortified foods typically contain amounts that are safe for the general population. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine have set Upper Intake Levels (ULs) for iron and thiamine.
