    minerals) to a meal or condiment in order to increase the nutritional quality of the food supply
    and give a public health benefit with little risk to health. Micronutrients, in addition to improving
    the nutritional value of staple meals, can aid to replenish the micronutrient content lost during
    processing.

    Advantages:
    Does Not Require Behavior Change
    Provides Nutrition Without Any Change in Characteristics of Food
    Maintain Body Stores of Nutrients
    Cost-Effective Intervention
    Contain Natural or Near Natural Levels of Micronutrients

    Disadvantages:
    Not A Substitute of Good Nutrition
    Might Not Benefit Infants and Children
    Fails To Cater to The Poorest Segment of The Population
    Not A Long-Term Solution
    Can Have Detrimental Effects

    These are some effects from food fortification process to the Micronutrient Deficiency, it gives
