Food fortification spurred by military purchases
Researchers conduct comprehensive review of food
fortification history in the U.S.
Food fortification with vitamins and
minerals is one of the most effective methods to improve health and prevent
nutritional deficiencies. It is greatly responsible for the virtual eradication
of disease such as goiter, rickets, beriberi, and pellagra in the United States.
New research from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health suggests
that developing nations could implement successful food fortification programs
by requiring fortified foods for their military personnel. The conclusions are
based on a detailed review of the history of food fortification programs in the
U.S., which is published in the January 22, 2003, edition of the journal
Economic Development and Cultural Change.

Fortifikasi mempunyai sejarah yang panjang di Indonesia. Program ini sudah dimulai semenjak masa penjajahan Belanda. Namun kebijakan ini tidak dilanjutkan lagi setelah Indonesia merdeka. Baru pada tahun 1970-an dilakukan upaya-upaya yang serius dan sistematis melalui percobaan iodisasi garam dengan bantuan UNICEF.
