Kellogg announces Vitamin D petition accepted by FDA

Following a petition from Kellogg Company, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration 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 announced. Nigel Hughes, Kellogg Company’s SVP, Global R&D and Innovation, said: "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."
