Enriched means:

Enriched means:

• A. nutrients added not present in original
• B. nutrients lost during food processing added back into product
• C. vitamins added to fruit drinks
• D. whole grains replaced with refined

Answer: (B)

Enrichment means adding back nutrients that were removed during processing so the food’s nutritional value is restored to what it was before milling or refining. For example, refined grains like white rice or white flour are enriched with iron and certain B vitamins to compensate for nutrients lost in processing. The other ideas describe fortification (adding nutrients that weren’t originally present or present in small amounts) or changes in processing that don’t involve restoring lost nutrients, so they’re not enrichment.
