Addressing it constitutes a historic contribution to gender equity. The Food Engineering Group at the University of Toronto (U of T) with support from the Government of Canada through the Micronutrient Initiative (1995 – 2013) developed microencapsulation-based technology to produce iron premix for double-fortified salt (iron and iodine). Between 2015-2018 the project reached an estimated 50+ million people making it arguably one of the world’s largest and fastest growing new development innovations.38 p. , illapplication/pdfenFORTIFIED FOODSSALTIRON DEFICIENCYANEMIAMICRONUTRIENTSPUBLIC HEALTHMALNUTRITIONMATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTHDEVELOPING COUNTRIESINDIASOUTH ASIAFinal Technical Report
