===Milk=== According to a systematic review and meta-analysis,<ref name="Macdonald-2011">{{Cite journal|last1=Macdonald|first1=Lauren E.|last2=Brett|first2=James|last3=Kelton|first3=David|last4=Majowicz|first4=Shannon E.|last5=Snedeker|first5=Kate|last6=Sargeant|first6=Jan M.|date=2011-11-01|title=A systematic review and meta-analysis of the effects of pasteurization on milk vitamins, and evidence for raw milk consumption and other health-related outcomes|journal=Journal of Food Protection|volume=74|issue=11|pages=1814–32|doi=10.4315/0362-028X.JFP-10-269|issn=1944-9097|pmid=22054181|doi-access=free}}</ref> it was found that pasteurization appeared to reduce concentrations of vitamins [[vitamin B12|B12]] and [[vitamin E|E]], but it also increased concentrations of [[vitamin A]]. However, in the review, there was only limited research regarding how much pasteurization affects A, B12, and E levels.<ref name="Macdonald-2011"/> Milk is not considered an important source of vitamins B12 or E in the North American diet, so the effects of pasteurization on the adult daily intake of these vitamins is negligible.<ref name="USDA-2001">U.S. Department of Agriculture. 2001.

Vitamin B2 is typically found in bovine milk at concentrations of 1.83 mg/liter. Because the recommended daily intake for adults is 1.1 mg/day,<ref name="USDA-2001"/> milk consumption greatly contributes to the recommended daily intake of this vitamin. Except for B2, pasteurization does not appear to be a concern in diminishing the [[nutritional value|nutritive value]] of milk because milk is often not a primary source of these studied vitamins in the North American diet.
