Fortification of staple foods with essential vitamins and micronutrients is an important measure to improve micronutrient deficiencies in developing and emerging countries, where malnutrition is considered a severe public health problem. BASF manufactures micronutrients for the fortification of staple foods, which meet exceptional requirements in stability and efficacy even under extreme climatic conditions. BASF Food Fortification and Partnerships provides technical support, production solutions, quality assurance and quality control capacity, and partnership building as means to support achieving United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 2 Zero Hunger. Food fortification is beneficial to populations at risk of micronutrient deficiency, especially the population at the bottom of the income pyramid. Food fortification is an investment in the future as it contributes to a healthier society and helps children to thrive.
