For enrichment all five forms of the enrichment nutrients must be present in the list of ingredients. Only place to find them is the list of ingredients - the manufacturer added them. Nutrient: the Forms are on the right of the colon: example -folic acid and foliate are the two different forms by which folic acid can be added. Nutrient: Forms Iron: iron, reduced iron, ferric sulfate, ferrous sulfate, ferric orthophosphate, ferrous orthophosphate ferrous fumarate B1: Thiamine hydrochloride or thiamine mononitrate B2: Riboflavin B3: Niacin or Niacin amide Folic acid: Folic acid or folate Type in the name of the form added for: Iron: B1: B2: B3: Folic acid: 8.
