Vitamin B1 6.4 Mg/kg

Thiamin, also known as Vitamin B1, is a water-soluble vitamin essential for carbohydrate metabolism, nerve function, and muscle activity. It is found naturally in whole grains, pork, and legumes. In food processing, thiamin is often added as a nutrient to fortified foods.

Thiamin is added to foods as a nutrient supplement to help consumers meet their daily requirements. It is commonly found in fortified cereals, bread, pasta, and other grain products. It does not have a functional role as a preservative, emulsifier, or colorant.

Thiamin is recognized as safe and effective by the FDA when used as a nutrient. JECFA has evaluated thiamin and established an acceptable daily intake. Deficiency can lead to beriberi, a serious condition, but this is rare in developed countries with fortified foods. High doses are generally considered safe as it is water-soluble and excess is excreted.
