Beinner MA et al. – At baseline, the prevalences of iron deficiency and anemia in the total sample were 73.1 and 100%, respectively. At 5 mo, SF and Hb increased in both groups, although the change in the URG was larger (P < 0.01). Adult participants were unable to distinguish cooked fortified rice from unfortified rice in terms of smell, color, or taste. As rice is normally consumed at home, MPF–fortified rice increased iron stores and reduced anemia in a group of mildly anemic children 6–24 mo old. In populations where young children are routinely fed 100 g of cooked rice daily, fortifying it with iron may improve iron status at least as well as providing free iron drops.
