Fortification of food staples with iron, vitamin A, iodine and other micronutrients is the most cost-effective, sustainable option for eliminating micronutrient deficiencies. Salt iodization, reaching an additional 1. 5 billion consumers worldwide since 1990 and sparing millions of babies from mental retardation each year, is testimony to how successful fortification programmes can be. 3, record 3, English, - fortification%20of%20staple%20food

Fortification is a nutritional intervention programme with a specifically defined target, and fortified food products are expected to become a main source of the specific added nutrient. Consequently, food fortification is expected to help prevent nutritional inadequacy in targeted populations in which a risk of nutrient deficiency has been identified. 2, record 4, English, - nutrient%20deficiency

The new amino acid requirement pattern should be of greater value in identifying the nature and extent of the limiting indispensable amino acid(s) in national and regional diets. The pattern should also be useful for evaluating the economic, social, and cultural merits of dietary protein complementation, food protein supplementation, and specific amino acid fortification, such as lysine fortification of wheat flour, as alternative or perhaps simultaneous approaches for improving the nutritional value of diets based predominantly on cereals. 1, record 6, English, - amino%20acid%20fortification
