Nutrients From A Proprietary Blend Of Vegetables

This ingredient is a mixture of nutrients derived from a proprietary blend of vegetables. The specific vegetables and the extraction process are proprietary to the manufacturer. The goal is to concentrate and isolate the nutritional components of various vegetables.

Manufacturers add this blend to foods to boost the overall nutrient content, particularly vitamins and minerals, without significantly altering the taste or texture. It is often found in snack foods like chips, pretzels, and veggie sticks, where consumers may be looking for added nutritional benefits.

This ingredient is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of vitamins and minerals, which are essential for health. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many individual nutrients found in vegetable blends, setting guidelines for their safe use. At typical intake levels found in fortified foods, these nutrients are not associated with adverse health effects.
