Ribolavin

Riboflavin is a B vitamin, also known as vitamin B2. It is found naturally in foods like eggs, meat, dairy products, and green vegetables. It can also be produced synthetically for use as a food additive.

Riboflavin is often added to foods as a nutrient to fortify them, helping consumers meet their daily vitamin B2 needs. It is also used as a yellow food coloring. You can find it in cereals, baked goods, dairy products, and some candies.

Riboflavin is an essential nutrient that plays a role in energy production and cell function. The FDA considers it Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) when used as a nutrient or color additive. JECFA has evaluated riboflavin and established an acceptable daily intake. Excessive intake is generally not a concern as it is water-soluble and excess is excreted in urine.
