FAQ of the Month
Q: If a supplement contains both naturally occurring potassium and supplemental ingredient, does it fall under Class I or Class II? For example: Potassium is coming from a dairy powder AND potassium citrate is added to boost that final potassium amount.
A: When a supplement ingredient contains a combination of naturally occurring and added forms of a nutrient, consider the nutrient as a Class I.
From the CFR 101.9:
(3) Two classes of nutrients are defined for purposes of compliance:
(i) Class I. Added nutrients in fortified or fabricated foods; and
(ii) Class II. Naturally occurring (indigenous) nutrients. When a nutrient is naturally occurring (indigenous) in a food or an ingredient that is added to a food, the total amount of such nutrient in the final food product is subject to class II requirements, except that when an exogenous source of the nutrient is also added to the final food product, the total amount of the nutrient in the final food product (indigenous and exogenous) is subject to class I requirements.
