"Currently, 79 countries around the world have made it the law to fortify at least one major grain: 78 of them fortify wheat flour, 12 fortify maize products and five fortify rice. These grains are usually fortified with vitamin A, iron and folic acid, which help prevent blindness, anaemia and birth defects, and improve mental function."
