Riboflavin-b2

Riboflavin, also known as Vitamin B2, is a water-soluble vitamin essential for human health. It is naturally found in foods like eggs, meat, dairy products, and green vegetables. It can also be produced synthetically for use as a food additive.

Riboflavin is added to foods primarily as a nutrient supplement to fortify products and help consumers meet their daily vitamin needs. It is commonly found in enriched grains, cereals, bread, pasta, and dairy products. It also acts as a yellow colorant in some foods.

Riboflavin is recognized as safe and effective by the FDA when used as a nutrient or color additive. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated riboflavin and established an acceptable daily intake. Typical intakes from fortified foods and supplements are generally well below levels of concern.
