Kellogg Company's Vitamin D Petition Accepted by FDA
Following a petition from Kellogg Company, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently announced increases to the fortification levels of Vitamin D allowed within the cereal category and now allows fortification of Vitamin D in grain-based bars. The company petitioned the FDA to review fortification regulations for cereals and grain-based bars with Vitamin D.
"Kellogg fortified cereals and milk have long been a delicious and affordable way to get Vitamin D," says Nigel Hughes, Kellogg Company's SVP, global R&D and innovation. "Now, everyday foods, like cereal and grain-based bars, can go even further toward helping people access and consume Vitamin D, creating better days for 3 billion people by the end of 2030."
