  The so-called fortified flour or fortified rice refers to the targeted addition of one or more vitamins and minerals in the production process of flour and rice to improve their nutritional quality. At present, it is more common to fortify flour, that is, add nutrients such as iron, calcium, zinc, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, folic acid, niacin, and vitamin A to the flour (the so-called "7+1" scheme).

  In order to ensure that the nutrients added to fortified foods are appropriate, the relevant departments have stricter management of fortified foods, such as the types of fortified foods, the types of added nutrients, the amount added, and the production process used to add etc. There are clear rules. Generally, each kilogram of fortified flour contains vitamin mg, vitamin mg, niacin mg, folic acid 2 mg, iron 20 mg, zinc 25 mg, and calcium 1 000 mg. In addition, companies producing fortified foods must also meet certain standards and be certified. In short, the dosage of all fortified nutrients in fortified flour is fully researched and strictly managed in the form of national standards, which can ensure both effectiveness and safety, and consumers can eat with confidence. It can be said that it is safe to eat fortified foods such as fortified flour and fortified rice, and it will not cause excessive nutrients or poisoning. It is highly recommended.

   In fact, eating fortified foods is the best way to solve the problem of nutritional deficiencies, and has always been highly respected by the nutrition community. Developed countries have achieved many successful experiences in this regard. Relevant domestic departments are also vigorously promoting the development of enhanced food. At present, the domestic implementation of labeling management for fortified foods, that is, fortified foods (except for iodized salt) that have been approved and certified, has a special label on the packaging. When consumers buy flour in supermarkets, as long as they recognize this special label, they can buy fortified flour. The appearance, taste and eating method of fortified flour are exactly the same as ordinary flour.
