Resumen

These Regulations, made by the Minister responsible for health under section 41 of the Food and Drugs Act, concern the addition of one or more micronutrients by means of a fortificant or fortification mix to a foodstuff intended for human consumption. The Minister shall encourage and promote the fortification of staple foodstuffs and other processed foodstuffs to address identified micronutrient deficiencies in accordance with national standards, prescribed by the Minister. Guidelines and national standards on food fortification shall serve as the basis for addition of nutrients to foodstuffs to avoid over or under fortification as well as misleading label claims. A person shall not manufacture, import or sell foodstuffs as fortified foodstuffs unless they have been fortified in accordance with the principles set out in the First Schedule and national standards. Manufacture shall also comply with the requirements of the National Drug Authority and the requirements set out in the Second Schedule. Other regulations concern, among other things, labelling (including use of a special logo), storage and transportation of fortified foodstuffs, quality assurance, monitoring and enforcement of activities.
