Structure of Riboflavin

Some great food options are:

  • eggs
  • green vegetables
  • milk

Another option to get riboflavin in the diet is orange juice. It only contains 4% of your daily intake, however, it is convenient since it is in the POD of the CSB and in Scots Market.


orange juice in the POD/Scots Market lights on in the fridge in the POD/Scots Market does the light pass through the plastic and damage the riboflavin, creating harmful compounds?
