eli5: how are nutrition labels made?

566 views

So I’m on a specific diet for surgery where I can not have any vitamin C at all. Why is it that something can have ingredients with vitamin C, but then on the label it says 0% vitamin C?? I just want to make sure I’m avoiding the vitamin.

Usually, it’s a non-active ingredient like ascorbyl palmitate. Explaining how labels are made might be too complex for what you need. What ingredients are you seeing that contain vitamin c?
