There also can be additives that are listed separately. This list is relevant to the ingredients (as the additives have been added) and gives an impression(?) of the nutritional values. It is not given as an analysis of all the ingredients.

The additives are sometimes expressed as the originating compound, i.e. ferrous carbonate supplies the iron.

This seems to be a good way to express minerals, as the effectiveness of mineral absorption seems to depend on the compound used.

This is also related to the units that are used. Additives can be expressed in International Units / kg of g / kg. Using the International Unit takes into account the effectiveness of the compound. Internationl units are used for vitamine A, vitamine D3.

The amount of a single mineral can be due to multiple compounds (example ferric oxide and ferrous sulfate monohydrate). The iron from both compounds must be added.
