Washington/Press Release -- Most consumers do not fully recognize the unique nutrition benefits that meat and poultry offer, according to a recent survey conducted online by Harris Poll for the American Meat Institute (AMI).
Only 12% of consumers correctly identified animal products like meat and poultry as the only natural source of vitamin B12, which keeps the nervous system healthy. Some 20% said cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and cauliflower were the natural source of B12, and 13% thought the correct answer was citrus fruit. Neither of these foods contain vitamin B12.
