Today, we, the National Nutrition Council (NNC), join the nation in celebrating National Food Fortification Day!
This observance highlights the importance of fortifying staple foods such as rice, flour, cooking oil, and salt with essential vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A, Iron, and Iodine. Food fortification helps address micronutrient deficiencies, strengthen the immune system, and promote better health and productivity among Filipinos.
The NNC continues to advocate for accessible and nutritious food for all, ensuring that no Filipino is left behind in the fight against malnutrition. Patuloy tayong tumangkilik ng mga fortified food products, lalo na ang may Sangkap Pinoy Seal at Saktong Iodine sa Asin (SISA) Seal!
Together, let us support food fortification as a key strategy toward a healthier and more nourished Philippines.
