Vitamins B12 Food
Where do vitamin B12 fortified foods get their B12?

I'm a pretty strict vegetarian, and lately I've noticed that my diet is really unhealthy. I started researching what I can do to eat healthier. A lot of vegetarian resources I've found have suggested that I take a vitamin B12 supplement and eat foods fortified with B12.

But if B12 only comes from animals (all the sources I've checked have said that there is no plant food known to be a safe and reliable source of B12), how can those fortified foods and supplements be vegetarian?

Help, please?

Vitamin B12 comes from bacteria. The bacteria can grow in animals' stomachs, which is why vitamin B12 is found in animal products. Obviously, you don't want to eat a lot of bacteria just to get vitamin B12. But vitamin B12 can be safely extracted from bacteria in laboratories and made into supplements. Make sure the supplements are vegetarian though, because the B12 in some supplements might come from animals.
