Stabilizers are used to thicken products and provide a uniform texture. Anti-caking agents enable substances to flow freely. Improve or preserve nutrient product value. Fortification and enrichment of foods is a process where vitamins and minerals are added to foods like flour, cereal, margarine and milk. All products that contain added nutrients must be labeled.
