"Synthetic vitamin E (usually dl-alpha-tocopheryl acetate) added as a nutrient, separate from its use as a preservative."
The nutritional counterpart to "Mixed Tocopherols" used as a preservative — same vitamin, added here specifically to meet the animal's dietary requirement rather than to protect fats from going rancid. Heat and oxidation during processing reduce natural vitamin E content, so supplementation ensures the finished food meets AAFCO minimums.
