Fortified food:-

A food that has extra nutrients added to it or has nutrients added that are not normally there. Examples are milk with vitamin D added and salt with iodine added.

Nutrients are a natural part of the foods we eat. They can also be consumed in fortified foods, which are foods to which extra nutrients have been added. For example, your breakfast cereal may be fortified with iron, the glass of milk you have with lunch likely has vitamin D added to it, and your evening bowl of pasta could be fortified with folic acid. In this lesson, we will take a closer look at food fortification, why it is done, and how it affects human health.
