ACRONYMS AND ABBREVIATIONS 106 MicronutrientFortification of Foods v PREFACE — Deficiencies in three micronutrients— iodine, iron, and vitamin A are widespreadaffecting more than a third ofthe world'spopulation. Individuals and families suffer seriousconsequences including learning disabili- ties, impaired workcapacity, illness, and death.They could waste as much as 5°Io ofgross domestic product (GDP). Addressingthem comprehensively, using an array of low-costsolutions, could cost less than 0.3°Io of GDP. In the words of the World Bank in its recentpublication "Enriching lives"". No other technologyoffers as largean opportunity to improve lives . atsuch low cost and in such a short time Many national governments atthe World Summit for Childrenset the target to eliminate deficiencies in micronutrientsin populationsthroughout the world by the year 2000. The basicobjective of all national micronutrientprograms is to ensurethat needed micronutrientsare available and consumed in adequate amountsby vulnerablepopulations. Strategies should be appropriateto the needand should use existing delivery systems and availabletechnologies where they servethat need. A combinationof interventions involving the promotion ofbreastfeeding, dietary modification(e.g., improving food availability and increasing food consumption), food fortification,and supplementationmay needto be emphasized and implemented. The fortification of commonly eaten foods with micronutrientsis one ofthe main strategiesthat can be used to improve micronutrientstatus. Fortificationshould be viewed as partof a rangeof measures that influence the quality offood including improvedagricultural practices, improvedfood processing and storage,and improved consumereducation to adopt good food preparationpractices. Today,in deveJoped countries where there is a high dependence on processed foodsand industriesare stream- lined and automated,food fortification has played a major role in the health ofthese populationsover the last 40 years, and several nutritional deficiencies have been eliminated. In the developingcountries too, fortification is increasinglyrecognized as a measure to improve the micronutrientstatus of large populations.When fortification is imposed on existing food patterns, itmay not necessitate changes in the customary dietof the population and will not call for individual compliance. Thus, fortification can oftenbe implementedand sus- tained over a long period. It can, therefore, be the most cost-effective means of overcomingmicronutrient malnutrition. The food industry is playing an increasinglycritical and complexrole throughout the world. In the developed countries,changes in living and marketplacepatterns have stimulatedchanges in food industry practices, resulting in a diversity offood-processing technologies and ever-changingnumbers and types offoods on the market shelves. As the food industry is increasinglydriven by market forces into the global marketplace it is faced with a significantly differentscenario. In marked contrast to the developed world, most developing countriesare grappling with fundamental issues of providing adequate food suppliesto feed their expanding populations. Simple nutritional and technologicalsolutions to the problemsof micronutrient malnutrition exist but are often complicated by economic, social, and political factors.Intervention strategies must take thesefactors into account. This is the challenge, as well as the opportunity,for the food industry to play a key role in improving the physical,social, and economic well-being of billions ofpeople. This manual has beenprepared to facilitateand encourage large-scale implementationof fortification programs in countries where micronutrientmalnutrition is prevalent. It respondsto a long-feltneed for a comprehensive documentationof technologiesand opportunities for fortification. Giventhat technologiesare in different stages of developmentand application,an attemptis also madeto review critically the status ofthese technologies and identify the steps involved in refining themfor large-scale application.In addition, the manual appraisestheir technologicalfeasibility, practicability, cost effectiveness, and consumeracceptability. An annotatedbibliography on food fortification,containing more than 500 references with abstracts, including the references mentioned in this manual,will be publishedas a companionvolume. It is hopedthat this manual will be a useful reference for national micronutrientprogram managersand food MicronutrientFortification of Foods vii industry managersto plan and expandfood fortification as a long-termand sustainablesolution to the global problem ofmicronutrient malnutrition. This documentis a productof a unique collaboration between the InternationalAgricultural Centre (IAC) in the Netherlandsand the MicronutrientInitiative (Ml) in Canada. It has also evolved out of experience gained in organizingthe short-termtraining course in food fortification at the IAC. The authorsare gratefulto Ms i. Cervinskas (Ml), and Ms F. de Boer(IAC) for overall technical review of the document.

Ba.Sc., RD, Manager of –Hippocrates Dietary, Nutrition and ood and dining are key components of quality of life and Environmental Operations quality of care for residents in long-term care homes. for Sienna Senior Living The prevalence of protein energy under-nutrition for residents ranges from 23 per cent to 85 per cent, making malnutrition one of the most serious problems facing health professionals in long-term care. Malnutrition is associated with poor outcomes and is an indicator of risk for increased mortality. It has been found that most residents with evi- dence of malnutrition were on restricted diets that might discourage nutrient intake.1 Researchers, Nutrition Managers, and Registered Dietitians alike have been looking at ways and methods to fortify foods without increasing the volume of food consumed. What exactly is a fortified food? Health Canada defines food fortification as “a process by which vitamins, mineral nutrients and amino acids are added to foods to provide consumers with sufficient but not excessive amounts of certain nutrients in their diet.”2 There is both mandatory and voluntary fortification of foods at present. Mandatory fortification includes addition of vitamin A and D to milk, CANADIAN SOCIETY OF NUTRITION MANAGEMENT NEWS – WINTER 2018 11 for example.

  • Guidelines on Food Fortification with Micronutrients
    GUIDELINES ON FOOD FORTIFICATION FORTIFICATION FOOD ON GUIDELINES Interest in micronutrient malnutrition has increased greatly over the last few MICRONUTRIENTS WITH years. One of the main reasons is the realization that micronutrient malnutrition contributes substantially to the global burden of disease. Furthermore, although micronutrient malnutrition is more frequent and severe in the developing world and among disadvantaged populations, it also represents a public health problem in some industrialized countries. Measures to correct micronutrient deficiencies aim at ensuring consumption of a balanced diet that is adequate in every nutrient. Unfortunately, this is far from being achieved everywhere since it requires universal access to adequate food and appropriate dietary habits. Food fortification has the dual advantage of being able to deliver nutrients to large segments of the population without requiring radical changes in food consumption patterns. Drawing on several recent high quality publications and programme experience on the subject, information on food fortification has been critically analysed and then translated into scientifically sound guidelines for application in the field. The main purpose of these guidelines is to assist countries in the design and implementation of appropriate food fortification programmes. They are intended to be a resource for governments and agencies that are currently implementing or considering food fortification, and a source of information for scientists, technologists and the food industry. The guidelines are written from a nutrition and public health perspective, to provide practical guidance on how food fortification should be implemented, monitored and evaluated. They are primarily intended for nutrition-related public health programme managers, but should also be useful to all those working to control micronutrient malnutrition, including the food industry.

  • The Halifax Citadel
    THE HALIFAX CITADEL National Historic Park Halifax, Nova Scotia Issued under the authority of the Honourable Arthur Laing, P.C., M.P., B.S.A., Minister of Northern Affairs and National Resources HALIFAX CITADEL NOVA SCOTIA THE HALIFAX CITADEL Halifax, Nova Scotia Halifax was founded in 1749 to provide a base for the British Navy and Army and a springboard for attack on the French at Louisbourg and Quebec, because the final contest between France and England for possession of the North American continent was clearly approaching. Citadel Hill was always the innermost keep and chief land defence of the Halifax Fortress. Four forts were built, at different periods, on its summit. The first was part of a wooden palisade around the young settlement, designed to protect the settlers from Indians. The second was built at the time of the American Revolution and was intended as a stronghold and base against the rebels. The third was built while Napoleon Bonaparte was trying to conquer the world, and this one was later repaired for the War of 1812 with the United States. Because of the latter war, Britain knew she must have a permanent fortress here as Atlantic base in time of peril, and so the fourth, the present one, was constructed. Not one of these forts was ever called upon to resist invasion. No shot was ever fired against them in anger. However, it is safe to say that they had served their purpose merely by existing. The First Citadel When the Honourable Edward Cornwallis arrived at Chebucto Harbour on June 21, 1749, accompanied by more than 2,500 settlers, one of his first thoughts was to secure the settlement from attacks by marauding Indians, ever ready to molest the British during periods of nominal peace between England and France.

  • Beverage Fortification
    June 2013 US$39.00 SPECIAL REPORT Beverage Fortification: Enhancing Nutritional Quality & Consumer Appeal Years ago, fortification was implemented in staple items such as flour and milk as an effective strategy to help stave off widespread disease resulting from malnourishment. With today's increasingly savvy consumers looking to glean nutritional benefits in everything from tea and juice to bottled water, beverage fortification has taken on a whole new life. by Cathianne Leonardi and Frank Del Corso Beverage Fortification: Enhancing Nutritional Quality & Consumer Appeal According to the World Health Organization (WHO), food fortification is the practice of deliberately increasing content of an essential micronutrient in a food, so as to improve the nutritional quality of the food supply and provide a public health benefit with minimal risk to health. Historically, foods have been fortified to prevent diseases. More recently in the United States and other developed countries, fortification of foods and beverages has shifted to deliver benefits making the user feel, perform or even look better. This report examines the changing market of fortification in the United States—from one where the main driver is preventing diseases in the masses, to one where the driver is adding function for a niche market. Strategies are also explored for beverage scientists to create great-tasting drinks to meet the demands of this new market. Introduction and History of Fortification by Cathianne Leonardi umans traditionally fortify their bodies with nutrients found in food. We demonstrate increased understanding of nature by modifying H our food supply in favor of desired qualities. Activities including seed selection, propagation and invention of species by artificial selection and hybridization have long been established as beneficial in yielding increasing food supplies required to nourish a boundless growth in population.
