What it is

Niacin, also known as Vitamin B3, is an essential nutrient found naturally in some foods. It is often added to refined grains like wheat flour to replace nutrients lost during processing. Niacin can be produced synthetically for food fortification.

Why it's used

Niacin is added to wheat flour as a nutrient to help enrich the product, restoring levels lost during milling. It plays a vital role in the body's energy production. Enriched wheat flour is a common ingredient in baked goods, pasta, cereals, and bread.

Health notes

Niacin is recognized as safe and effective by the FDA when used as a nutrient supplement in food. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated niacin and established acceptable daily intake levels. Excessive intake of niacin, usually from supplements rather than fortified foods, can cause side effects like skin flushing.

Allergen info

Wheat flour is derived from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Wheat also contains gluten.
