Fermenta Biotech has received approval from the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) for its Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) - Plant Source (VITADEE Green) for use as an ingredient in Health Supplements, Nutraceuticals and Food Products.
The approval allows Indian food and supplement manufacturers to use VITADEE Green in fortified staple foods, food and beverages, dietary supplements and nutraceuticals, addressing one of the most pressing gaps in the country’s nutritional landscape. Studies estimate that a large percentage of the Indian population has suboptimal Vitamin D levels, a deficiency increasingly linked to urbanisation, indoor lifestyles and limited sun exposure despite the country’s geography.
For India’s vegetarian consumers, who have had limited access to a plant-source Vitamin D3, the development brings a domestically manufactured, regulatory-cleared option to the market. It also supports the broader national objective of addressing Vitamin D deficiency through food fortification, an area where regulators have increasingly favoured plant-based sources.
Fermenta Biotech possesses a growing portfolio of nutrition including customized Premixes, Fortified Rice Kernel (FRK) and other nutritional ingredients. Apart from its nutrition portfolio, the company is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of Vitamin D3.
