At least 1/2 to 1 hr. Most average stomach emptying is 20min.
But it can be delayed to 1 hr in some. So 1 hr is the ideal time.

Presence of food will hinder or completely block the microgram absorption of the B12 in the intestine.(this is for people dependent on the passive form of absorption---those with good intrinsic factor may be less sensitive to this rule).
