Abstract
Food fortification, encompassing biofortification and industrial methods, is a critical and effective public health strategy against micronutrient deficiencies. Reviews confirm its safety and efficacy in staple foods like wheat, maize, and rice, significantly improving nutritional status globally. Challenges in scaling and implementation persist, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. This necessitates tailored strategies, robust policies, and active community engagement. Double fortification of salt with iodine and iron also proves a cost-effective approach to simultaneously address co-existing deficiencies, underscoring the vital role of these interventions in reducing anemia and improving overall health worldwide
