- - - - Fortification requires:
        
        appropriate foods- eaten by the local population
        
        minimum effect on stability and sensory quality
        
        Risk assessment (impact of fortification levels on nutrient intake)
        
        central processing facilities
        
        distribution channels
        
        on-going quality control
        
        legal enforcement
      - Dietary advice
      - selecting nutrient rich foods
      - avoiding high energy, nutrient poor foods
      - improving bioavailability by increasing enhancers and reducing inhibitors
      - Fortification mandatory or voluntary- staple foods e.g. cereals - is the process of adding minerals and/or vitamins to
        foods to increase their overall nutritional content
      - manufactured food products tailored for vulnerable groups
      - home fortification e.g. sprinkles
      - Biofortification - is the process of using traditional crop breeding practices and/or modern biotechnology to produce micronutrient dense staple crops
