Fortified yoghurt

Food-grade vitamin B12 in the form of methylcobalamin (purity: 99%) was used for fortification. Yoghurts were Greek-style and locally produced by a yoghurt company in British Columbia, Canada. The pre-measured vitamin B12 was added into yoghurt vats in amounts that corresponded to the chosen dosage (50 µg of B12 per 150 g). The yoghurt was packaged into white cups, each containing 150 grams of yoghurt, labelled with the date of production and study code.
