[Health Canada, the World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations consider the terms "enriched food" and "fortified food" as synonymous and use them interchangeably, whereas some authors make a distinction between the two terms. In that case,] enriched foods have nutrients added to them that were lost during processing. [On the other hand], fortified foods have had nutrients added that are beyond what the foods originally contained. 1, record 1, English, - fortified%20food

Fortification of food staples with iron, vitamin A, iodine and other micronutrients is the most cost-effective, sustainable option for eliminating micronutrient deficiencies. Salt iodization, reaching an additional 1. 5 billion consumers worldwide since 1990 and sparing millions of babies from mental retardation each year, is testimony to how successful fortification programmes can be. 3, record 3, English, - fortification%20of%20staple%20food

An iodine removal cartridge containing an anion-exchange resin was installed to remove the iodine from the drinking water prior to consumption. To obtain the levels for a maximum consumption of 3 L of water/day, and assuming the food iodine at 0. 25 mg/day, the total water iodine concentration must be below 0. 25 mg/L of water. 2, record 4, English, - dietary%20iodine

Dans de nombreux pays où le goitre est fréquent, les autorités ont entrepris l'iodation du sel, stratégie qui a permis de réduire les troubles liés au déficit en iode. Cet iode est ajouté au sel sous forme d'iodure de potassium, mais l'iodate de potassium s'est avéré plus stable en climat chaud et humide. Le sel iodé constitue alors la principale source d'iode alimentaire. 1, record 4, French, - iode%20alimentaire
