Food fortification is an inexpensive and efficient way of providing micro nutrients through food that we consume on daily basis. It is a process of adding micro nutrients or any trace elements intentionally at higher level to the food to combat the deficiencies or just as a supplement with the normal food we eat. The policy of world food program and major food aid donors is that all oil, salt and blended food should be fortified with micro nutrients, either singly ( iodine in salt and vitamin A in oil) or in combination.

In many situations, this strategy can lead to relatively rapid improvements in the micro nutrient status of a population, and at a very reasonable cost, especially if advantage can be taken of existing technology and local distribution networks.

Commonly fortified foods are:

1.  Rice:  Rice is the staple food for two-thirds of Indians. Fortification of rice makes it more nutritious by adding vitamins and minerals, many of which are lost during the milling and polishing process. Rice is usually fortified with iron (20 mg), folic acid (1300 micro gram) and vitamin B 12 (10 micro gram). Other than this zinc oxide, vitamin B 1, 2, 6 and niacin is also added. A study among school children conducted by National Institute of Nutrition and Department of Biotechnology revealed a significant increase in mean serum ferritin (iron stores) levels (8.17 Hg/dL) after consumption of fortified rice. Golden rice is the best example of fortified rice.
