Health notes
Yellow bell peppers are a source of vitamins, particularly vitamin C. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recognizes them as a safe food ingredient. International bodies like the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) have evaluated many food ingredients, but specific evaluations for yellow bell peppers as a distinct ingredient are not typically highlighted in the same way as isolated additives. Evidence suggests that diets rich in vegetables are associated with health benefits.
