Nutrients are sometimes added to food to restore the nutritional aspects of the food which have been lost through processing. The addition of nutrients to some foods reduces the chances of poor nutrient status in many people. Sometimes it is mandated by government. Other times, it is a marketing tool for the manufacturers.
