Product Application of Ammonium Ferric Citrate CAS#1185-57-5
Ammonium ferric citrate is widely used as a food-grade iron fortifier, offering better absorption compared to inorganic iron sources. According to regulations in China, it can be applied in salt and sandwich sugar at levels of 4000–8000 mg/kg. In high-iron cereals and related products (with a recommended daily intake of 50 g), the usage ranges from 1200 to 1350 mg/kg. For dairy products and infant foods, the recommended amount is 400–800 mg/kg, while in cereals and their derivatives, it is used at 160–330 mg/kg. In beverages, the typical application level is 70–140 mg/kg.
