Fat soluble vitamins has the FDA mandate be added to food containing olestra.
Olestra inhibits the absorption of some vitamin and other nutrient. Vitamin A, D,E and K have to be added to the food containing olestra. According to food and drug Administration olestra containing food would need to bear a label statement to inform consumers about possible effect of olestra on the gastrointestinal system
