Toddlers in Europe might be exposed to up to a tiny amount — 0.071 milligrams per kilogram of body weight — of an enzyme called 6-Phytase each day from foods like bread, cereals, and plant-based milks, especially if it's added at the highest allowed levels. Older kids and adults likely get much less.
