Milling removes the outer layers of grain where pantothenic acid accumulates, which is why refined flour contains less than whole grain flour. Some manufacturers add it back; others do not. Heat during cooking can degrade it, though the loss varies by temperature and time. The foods here have not been processed for this table, so your own products may differ if you refine, fortify, or cook them.
Pantothenic acid appears throughout plant and animal foods, but organ meats, mushrooms, and legumes tend to rank highest. Bear in mind that the absolute amounts are small; most foods contain well below the 5 mg Daily Value per 100 g, so the practical gap between a top-ranking food and a lower one may not matter for your customer's diet.
FDA daily value: 5 mg
