What it is

Tocopherols are a group of naturally occurring compounds, including vitamin E. They are found in vegetable oils, nuts, and leafy green vegetables. Industrially, they are often extracted from plant oils or synthesized.

Why it's used

Tocopherols are added to foods primarily as antioxidants to protect flavor and prevent spoilage by inhibiting the oxidation of fats and oils. They are commonly found in products with higher fat content, such as snack bars, baked goods, and processed meats.

Health notes

Tocopherols are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food additive. They are a form of vitamin E, an essential nutrient. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated tocopherols. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.

Allergen info

Tocopherols are not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. They are also gluten-free.
