Niacin, Thimin Mononitrate, Riboflavin, and Folic Acid are vitamins.
Ferrous Sulfate is probably added as a source of dietary iron.

Xanthan gum is a thickener that is commonly used by low-carbers in
place of starches. It's derived from corn or wheat by bacterial
action. Might as well complain about the veins in blue cheese.

There is an allowable component of bug parts and rat feces in
flour, so worrying about Natural and Artificial Flavors and Color
is pointless.
