  • 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 ratification of the 21st Amendment and the associated confusion of its meaning have lead to a perplexing and elaborate system of regulating interstate commerce of alcoholic beverages. A system of laws intended to give local governments the power to police alcohol within their own borders without affecting the federal government’s control over interstate commerce has now become a bureaucratic and expensive system of alcohol distribution. This system erects barriers to competition and market entry, limits consumer surplus, and threatens the economic viability of the wine industry as a whole. Until regulation of interstate commerce of alcohol is universalized under federal control, wine producers and consumers will suffer at the benefit of state governments and seemingly unnecessary wholesaler distributors. Section 1: The History of Alcohol Regulation Alcohol Jurisprudence in the Nineteenth Century In order to understand the current system of alcohol distribution, it is important to look at its history and development. The dormant commerce clause of the constitution, which states that no state or territory may pass a law that “improperly burdens or discriminates against interstate commerce,” is an integral part of this history. During the nineteenth century, it was widely acknowledged that state and local governments could exercise their police powers to regulate alcoholic beverages within their borders including prohibiting the manufacture and sale of alcohol (Zywicki 2004).
