Working together
against hidden hunger

Millions of people suffer from malnutrition in the sense of hidden hunger. They lack important vitamins and minerals without knowing it because staple foods that are available to them often do not contain them. However, we also consume bread, baked goods, pasta and other flour-based foods every day. What could therefore be more natural than directly enriching our staple food – flour – with the micronutrients it lacks? And this can be a quick and easy way to make a small contribution to supplying additional nutrients such as iron, zinc, iodine and folic acid to large swathes of the population? Nothing! The fortification or enrichment of flour helps to prevent hidden hunger. Many governments are even making this mandatory. The WHO also recommends flour enrichment for important staple foods.

We have been supporting our customers in the milling industry in the technical implementation of flour fortification for many years. And in this context, also advising international charities, associations and non-governmental organisations.
