Fortification of salt with iron and iodine versus fortification of salt with iodine alone for improving iron and iodine status

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2019
Iron deficiency is an important micronutrient deficiency contributing to the global burden of disease, and particularly affects children, premenopausal women, and people in low-resource settings. Anaemia is a possible consequence of iron deficiency, although clinical and functional manifestations of anemia can occur without iron deficiency (e.g.

A reliable and accurate portable device for rapid quantitative estimation of iodine content in different types of edible salt

Indian Journal of Public Health, 2015
Background: Continuous monitoring of salt iodization to ensure the success of the Universal Salt Iodization (USI) program can be significantly strengthened by the use of a simple, safe, and rapid method of salt iodine estimation.

Assessment of iodine concentration in dietary salt at household level in Morocco

BMC Public Health, 2016
Background Following WHO recommendations, Morocco adopted in 1995 the universal salt iodization (USI) as a strategy to prevent and control iodine deficiency disorders. In 2009, the standard salt iodine concentration was adjusted to 15–40 mg/kg.

Prospects of fortification of salt with iron and iodine [PDF]

British Journal of Nutrition, 2001
Fortification of salt with iron has been developed by the National Institute of Nutrition (NIN) as a strategy for the control of iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) in India, similar to iodization of salt for control of iodine deficiency disorders (IDD). Stability of the iron fortified salt (IFS), its bioavailability and organoleptic evaluation of food items

SALT IODINE MONITORING IN THE ARMED FORCES [PDF]

Medical Journal Armed Forces India, 1999
Iodine deficiency is the most commonly implicated nutritional factor responsible for preventable mental deficiency in India and the world. The Government of India aims to control this through the supply of Iodised salt as the primary intervention strategy. Monitoring of the salt supplied, therefore becomes essential to ensure quality control.
