Fortification helps save lives by reducing preventable conditions caused by micronutrient deficiencies — before they begin. ❤️ When the system is stronger, communities are better nourished 🌍

The power of nutrition begins with access. 💪🌾 Even balanced diets can leave nutrient gaps at a population level. By adding essential vitamins and minerals to widely consumed staple foods, large-scale #FoodFortification strengthens the food supply itself.

🎉 Today is #EmoryDayofGiving! Every gift to FFI through Emory University helps expand fortification programs that reduce micronutrient malnutrition and strengthen food systems globally.

Large-scale #FoodFortification helps close nutrient gaps across entire populations, ensuring women and girls have the nutrients they need to thrive. Because when women are nourished, communities are stronger. Learn how fortification saves lives: 🔗 buff.ly/62uTIzm

Food fortification is a safe nutrition intervention proven to benefit individuals at every point in life — from conception to aging. Breastfeeding mothers, adolescents, and/ adults in their reproductive years all rely on the nutrients included in fortified foods.

On this #InternationalWomensDay, we recognize that women’s health matters at every stage of life. From adolescence to older adulthood, access to essential vitamins and minerals supports strong bones, healthy immune systems, and lifelong well-being.

How can we tackle high rates of anemia worldwide? “In most countries, staple food fortification and deworming were among the lowest-cost interventions.” A Lancet supplement highlights food fortification as a no-brainer to reverse stalled progress in reducing anemia.

Revisiting a 2011 study that shows #foodfortification is a cornerstone of healthy diets globally, including the US. Study reported significant contributions to vit. A, C, D, thiamin, iron & folate intake. Study: ow.ly/jEqm50Yanm7 Explore our data: ow.ly/FSeJ50Yanm6

❤️ Strong hearts need strong blood. Iron deficiency is a leading cause of nutritional anemia. Adding iron to everyday foods through fortification helps prevent anemia. #Iron #FoodFortification #WorldAnemiaAwareness

Global progress on anemia has been uneven. 📊 According to the World Health Organization’s 2025 global anemia estimates, gaps remain—especially for women and children. 🍞Food fortification helps ensure people get the nutrients needed to prevent anemia and support health.

Low amounts of iron in your blood, can make you fatigued. If left untreated, serious conditions can arise, especially for pregnant people. ❤️ Eating iron-fortified foods helps nourish the blood and support overall health. 🔗buff.ly/cQgQVtQ #Iron #FoodFortification
