A member asked:

Can nutrition labels list all the vitamins and minerals contained in the food?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: The labels will cover anything required by law and contents that the manufacturer thinks will be an inducement to purchase the product. That leaves a lot of room for other ingredients, preservatives, etc. Testing is rare in this arena by independent laboratories. The buyer must beware.
