Not on the organ lists.Stocks, sauces, herbs, spices and sweeteners flavour a dish rather than feed you, so they are never offered as best ingredients, whatever they score.

What may be claimed
Baking powder is a source of Calcium, Iron, Phosphorus. These are the authorised wordings from the GB Nutrition and Health Claims Register for those nutrients, the only health claims anyone may make about this food.
Calcium
- Calcium is needed for the maintenance of normal bones.
- Calcium contributes to normal muscle function.
- Calcium contributes to the normal function of digestive enzymes.
- Calcium contributes to normal blood clotting.
The mineral that gives bones and teeth their hardness — and that muscles, nerves, and blood clotting borrow moment to moment.
Iron
- Iron contributes to normal cognitive function.
- Iron contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
- Iron contributes to normal oxygen transport in the body.
- Iron contributes to normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin.
- Iron contributes to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
The core of hemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen in your blood. Low iron means less oxygen delivered — and flagging energy.
Phosphorus
- Phosphorus contributes to the maintenance of normal bones.
- Phosphorus contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism.
Calcium's partner in bone mineral, and the P in ATP — the molecule every cell spends as energy.
