Info

A sustainable program for iron fortification of wheat flour reflects collaborative efforts of millers, producers, the public sector, researchers, and donors. The purpose of this document is to share the experiences of those involved in wheat flour fortification so that other countries can plan and implement this important intervention to eliminate and prevent iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia.
