AB  - Iron deficiency anemia is a worldwide public health issue, and the best cost-effective prophylactic technique is to fortify foods with iron. The right mix of iron form and food carrier, as well as the dietary context in which it is consumed, are critical. It raises the chances of preterm birth and a low birth weight baby. IDA slows development affects cognitive function and lowers physical activity in youngsters. It also increases the risk of death and morbidity in women.
