fortified foods
Nutrient-boosted edibles
Fortified foods are products with nutrients added during processing—vitamins, minerals, or other supplements not originally present in significant amounts.
Milk is fortified with vitamin D, salt with iodine, flour with folic acid.
The practice addresses nutritional deficiencies at a population level: fortified breakfast cereals, fortified orange juice.
Distinct from enriched foods, which restore nutrients lost in processing.
