dc.description.abstractCanadian and Indian research collaborators have produced a double-fortified salt (DFS) containing iron and iodine that can be produced on a mass scale. The manufacture and sustainable distribution system provides DFS for regular daily use to more than 50 million people in three Indian states. It costs less than CAD$0.25/person/year to add iron to salt. The project brief includes details of this successful project development and implementation. Iron deficiency is the most widespread form of malnutrition in the world, afflicting nearly two billion people globally, primarily women and children.en
