Premix solutions are a cost-effective method of enhancing the nutrition of populations when they are used in large-scale initiatives, such as those to fortify foods or supplement distribution programs. These formulations are specially selected to ensure they are compatible with staple foods that are widely consumed.
Premix solutions for equitable nutrition combine appropriate amounts of all the nutrients required for an effective tailored wellness program into one stabilized ingredient. This allows manufacturers to simply incorporate the premix into their existing processes without needing to source, store and add multiple nutrient ingredients separately.
Fortifying staple foods is an accepted, evidence-based strategy that can cost-effectively address micronutrient deficiencies at scale2. Effective fortification programs are more achievable when custom premix solutions can be adapted to the nutritional needs of target populations. The result is effective staple fortified foods that deliver essential micronutrients to those who need it most, and a cost-efficient, scalable business model that leverages existing production and distribution systems, delivering on profit and purpose.
