The Food Fortification program is the government's response to the growing micronutrient malnutrition, which have been prevalent in the Philippines for the past several years.
Food Fortification is the addition of Sangkap Pinoy or micronutrients such as Vitamin A, Iron and/or Iodine to food, whether or not they are normally contained in the food, for the purpose of preventing or correcting a demonstrated deficiency with one or more nutrients in the population or specific population groups.
Sangkap Pinoy or micronutrients are vitamins and minerals required by the body in very small quantities. These are essential in maintaining a strong, healthy and active body; sharp mind; and for women to bear healthy children.
Regent Foods Corporation is proud to take part in this endeavour by producing Sangkap Pinoy certified products.
