how do you know if the vitamins/minerals are real

[eazzy]

for example. poptart gives 11 minerals and vitamins. now do these actually do anything? they're fortified right? that brings me to my main question, how do you know if the vitamins are legit? for example. if i eat spaghetti which has a decent amount of micros but it comes in a box like poptarts are those vit/minerals just as fake? and what about almond milK?

Why would you think the minerals claimed on the label are fake/fraudulent?

I think you may be on to something. Maybe it's not the food itself that is fortified with vitamins and minerals but the box it comes in. Afterall it is printed on the box.
