With Added Vitamin A And Vitamin D

This ingredient refers to milk that has had Vitamin A and Vitamin D added to it. These vitamins are naturally present in milk, but fortification can ensure consistent levels. The added vitamins are typically in forms like retinyl palmitate (Vitamin A) and cholecalciferol (Vitamin D).

Manufacturers add Vitamin A and Vitamin D to milk and dairy products to boost their nutritional value. These vitamins are important for bone health and immune function. Fortified milk is commonly found in products like puddings, custards, and baked goods where milk is a primary ingredient.

Milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Vitamins A and D are essential nutrients. Excessive intake of vitamins A and D can be harmful, but typical consumption from fortified foods is not associated with adverse effects. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine have established Upper Intake Levels (ULs) for these vitamins. JECFA and EFSA have also evaluated these vitamins.
