What it is
Thiamin mononitrate is a synthetic form of thiamin, also known as vitamin B1. Cyanocobalamin is a synthetic form of vitamin B12. Both are often added to foods to increase their vitamin content.
Why it's used
These ingredients are added to foods as a source of essential vitamins, thiamin (B1) and cyanocobalamin (B12). They are commonly found in fortified cereals, breads, and other grain products to help consumers meet their daily vitamin needs.
Health notes
Thiamin mononitrate and cyanocobalamin are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as nutrients. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated both compounds. Typical intakes from fortified foods are unlikely to cause adverse effects. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns at levels commonly found in food.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. Neither thiamin mononitrate nor cyanocobalamin are derived from the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
