Globally, 94 countries have legislation to mandate fortification of at least one industrially milled cereal grain.
Of these, 93 countries mandate fortification of wheat flour alone or in combination with other grains. One country—Papua New Guinea—has a mandate only for rice fortification.
When FFI was founded in 2002, only 38 countries mandated fortification of wheat flour, maize flour, or rice.
