Recently published FFI report finds that voluntary fortification of corn masa flour has resulted in only 5.8% of corn masa products in the US being fortified with folic acid.

The global health burden of vitamin and mineral deficiencies is profound. The way to a healthier future is clear. With your help, we can reach 1.5 billion more people over the next five years with adequately fortified flour and rice.

More than ever, food fortification with iron, folic acid, zinc, and other essential nutrients is a life-saving intervention vital to reducing the risk of malnutrition—before, during, and after pandemics.

Information on grain practices, legislation status, grain available for human consumption, milling industry information, and nutrient deficiency indicators.

In 2022, FFI celebrated 20 years engaging public, private, and civic partners to help countries around the world establish sustainable fortification programs that will improve lives for years to come. Over the course of 2022, we provided technical assistance for grain fortification in 33 countries across five broad areas: Africa, the Americas, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and India.

• Preliminary results of an assessment that measured the impact of a wheat flour fortification program in Haryana, India, on beneficiaries’ health.

• Updated estimates on the current status of global wheat flour, maize flour, and rice fortification.
