While seemingly a simple idea, fortifying salt with more than one micronutrient is complex; but the hope of boosting the health of an estimated two billion people suffering from iron deficiency anaemia is providing the motivation.
The Indian government is promoting the use of fortification in its social protection programs and recommends food fortification as a strategy to improve nutrition through existing government nutrition programs. Salt is already part of the package of support in the Below Poverty Line program and thus an opportunity for wide reach. The Food Safety Standards Authority of India created revised standards for Double Fortified Salt (DFS) in December 2015 in order to accommodate two iron components: Ferrous Sulphate and Encapsulated Ferrous Fumarate. The addition of either of these two compounds does not affect the bio-availability of iodine.
To reduce the prevalence of anaemia in women of reproductive stage, the Government of Madhya Pradesh has decided to supply one kilogram of double fortified salt in 89 tribal blocks in 20 districts of the State. NI is supporting the government with the procurement of DFS and is also undertaking an impact evaluation of the program.
These activities are being implemented in partnership with Government Departments of Health and Family Welfare, Food and Civil Supplies Department, Divisional administration and District administrations of the five Nutrition International program districts and partners like TATA Trusts and Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI). Investments related to DFS research and technology has been ongoing for more than 15 years. This current program is being funded from 2015 to 2020.

We consume iodine in our foods. When plants and animals are raised in areas with iodine-deficient soil, the diet for those people will be less healthy, resulting in populations suffering from iodine deficiency disorders (IDD).[1] Iodine deficiency is a leading cause of mental impairment and therefore Iodine offers protection to the growing brain.[2]
In many middle to high income countries, the problem of iodine deficiency has largely been solved by adding iodine to salt, which then makes it into animal feed, breads, processed foods and salt shakers in homes around the world. Salt iodization is considered the most successful type of food fortification.[2] That said, in 2017, 1 billion people globally did not have access to iodized salt.[3]
Supporting governments' efforts to achieve universal salt iodization (USI) is Nutrition International’s main strategy to help eliminate IDD. This means that all edible salt, for households, processed foods and animal salt, is adequately iodized based on how much the general population consumes. Nutrition International (NI) works in collaboration with the government of Ethiopia and partners to improve the legislative, policy and regulatory environments for salt iodization. NI works with the salt industry to build its capacity to comply with regulations. NI seeks to foster greater government ownership and commitment for USI programs to ensure long-term sustainability.
The areas of NI support for Salt Iodization include:
1. Building the capacity of the government quality control authorities in effective monitoring, quality control and enforcement:
