  5. Predicting micronutrient deficiencies

  6. Impact of fortified milk in Chile Milk is a good source of calcium, B-12 and B-2.

  7. Conclusions: 3 priorities in food fortification Establish simple, reliable and permanent monitoring and evaluation systems for assessing intervention outputs and program* outcomes. Promote consumption of fortified milk (including in adults). Use fermentation or phytases in cereal processing (for increasing mineral bioavailability).
