## About <!--about-->
Ferric phosphate, also called ferric orthophosphate or iron(III) phosphate, is affirmed by US regulation 21 CFR 184.1301 as generally recognised as safe for use in food as a nutrient supplement.[^cfr-184-1301] Wikipedia notes that it was withdrawn in 2007 from the list of substances allowed under the EU food supplements directive 2002/46/EC.[^wiki-fepo4] Cereal makers print it as a source of iron, as on the Canadian box of Post Fruity Pebbles.[^off-ca]
