Business in Nutrition Programs

National Food Fortification Program

GAIN is working with hundreds of local companies to fortify foods such as wheat and maize flour, sugar, vegetable oil, milk, soy sauce and fish sauce. For example, GAIN is working with government-owned and private flour mills in Egypt to fortify wheat flour used for baking Baladi bread with iron and folic acid. Baladi bread is a staple food generally consumed by the low-income population. Watch the video.
