What it is

Thiamin (B1) and riboflavin (B2) are essential water-soluble vitamins. They are naturally found in many foods like whole grains, meat, and dairy. They can also be produced synthetically for use in food fortification and supplements.

Why it's used

Thiamin and riboflavin are added to foods to increase their nutritional value, acting as a nutrient. They are commonly found in fortified cereals, bread, pasta, and dairy products to help consumers meet their daily vitamin requirements.

Health notes

Thiamin and riboflavin are essential for energy metabolism and nerve function. The US FDA considers them generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used as nutrients. Both vitamins have been evaluated by international bodies like JECFA and EFSA, which have established guidelines for their safe use. Deficiencies can lead to health issues, but exceeding recommended intakes through food alone is generally not a concern as excess amounts are typically excreted.

Allergen info

Thiamin and riboflavin are not among the FDA's 9 major food allergens. They do not contain gluten.
