Over half of preschool-aged children and about two-thirds of women of reproductive age globally suffer from micronutrient deficiencies with consequences that include anaemia, cognitive delays, weakened immunity and increased risk of birth defects. Food fortification is a proven, cost-effective, intervention to address micronutrient malnutrition without changing people’s dietary habits.
