Fortification of Maize Flour with Iron for Controlling Anaemia and Iron Deficiency in Populations
Publication Date:
Anemia
This Systematic Review synthesizes the evidence pertaining to the effects of iron fortification of maize flour, cornmeal, and maize flour products on anemia and iron status in the general population. Evidence from 5 studies suggests that it is uncertain whether fortifying maize flour with iron and other vitamins and minerals reduces the risk of iron deficiency.
