    Not 100% sure, though I’m leaning towards it actually being fortified (with perhaps a lower level being naturally occurring) given that the person on the verge of losing all their vegemite isn’t saying “wtf it’s naturally occurring” in response to “it’s not allowed to have added vitamin B”

      For a person not part of the company to leap out and assert that a product does or doesn’t contain a substance is high risk. They take on the risk that the company may have been lying, may not support them etc. The company differentiates 2 of their products which leads to the thought that the classic is not fortified but unless the Vegemite comes out clarifies it, it is not a incontrovertible fact. They have been making it since 1923 which is well before added vitamins were a popular thing and I can say it tastes the same (as much as I can tell) since the 1950s. So on balance I think that they don’t fortify it.
