Fortification of wheat flour is an effective, simple, and inexpensive strategy for supplying vitamins and minerals to the diets of large segments of the world’s population. But it has to be implemented appropriately. Therefore, the millers should be careful to ensure that the precise vitamins are processed correctly, as well as the appropriate premix selection. Providing dry storage conditions is also important for the protection of vitamin function.

The world has taken significant steps towards to end hunger until 2030 globally. However, there is a long way to go to achieve this goal. Flour fortification can be a critical element for the rapid passage of this pathway. Because wheat, corn and rice, which can be fortified with vitamins and minerals, constitute 94 percent of the grain consumed in the world. The fortification of these universally consumed grains offers a unique opportunity to reduce malnutrition, a global problem that affects 2 billion people and costs 3.5 trillion dollars to the world economy. For assuring fortification, which is considered as one of the best investments to secure the future of a nation, millers can share responsibility. The millers should be careful to ensure that the precise vitamins are processed correctly, as well as the appropriate premix choice. Providing dry storage conditions is also essential for the protection of vitamin function.
