Abstract
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is amending the food additive regulations to expand the safe uses of vitamin D<INF>2</INF> as a nutrient supplement in edible plant-based beverages intended for use as milk alternatives and in edible plant-based yogurt alternatives and vitamin D<INF>3</INF> as a nutrient supplement in milk at levels higher than those currently permitted. We are taking this action in response to a food additive petition filed by Dean Foods Company and WhiteWave Foods Company.
