AB  - Fortifying food with iron is the most cost-effective way to avoid iron deficiency anemia, a global public health crisis. In addition to choosing the appropriate dietary context for ingestion, it is critical to choose the appropriate iron form and food carrier. Among the increased hazards include low birth weight and preterm delivery. Children with IDA have slower development, worse cognitive performance, and lower levels of physical activity.
