What it is

Reduced iron is a form of iron used to fortify foods. It is made by reducing iron salts or oxides to elemental iron, then grinding it into a fine powder. Thiamin mononitrate is a synthetic form of vitamin B1 (thiamin).

Why it's used

These ingredients are added to foods to increase their nutritional value, specifically to prevent iron deficiency and ensure adequate thiamin intake. They are commonly found in enriched grain products like breads, cereals, and pasta, as well as in some baked goods.

Health notes

Reduced iron and thiamin mononitrate are considered safe and effective nutrients by the FDA. They are often added to foods as part of fortification programs to improve public health. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated thiamin and established specifications for its use. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming these nutrients at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

Neither reduced iron nor thiamin mononitrate are derived from or are among the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
