What are the Challenges of Voluntary Fortification?
Despite its benefits, voluntary fortification poses several challenges. One major issue is the risk of overconsumption of certain nutrients, which can lead to adverse health effects. Additionally, not all fortified foods are uniformly consumed across different population groups, leading to disparities in nutrient intake. There is also a concern about the regulation and quality control of fortified products, as voluntary fortification is less stringently monitored compared to mandatory fortification.
