Have assessed fortification of food with vitamins and minerals

The model has been updated with data from a new dietary survey for adults, and with new tolerable upper intake levels from EFSA for several of the vitamins and minerals. Some of the data entered into the model has been taken from Danish dietary surveys, as there is no Norwegian data available.

For most nutrients, it is the amount that can be added for 1- and 2-year-olds that regulates the fortification.

The model was established in 2006, and has been updated in 2009, 2013 and 2021. The model does not include the risk of low intake of nutrients.

The work has been commissioned by the Norwegian Food Safety Authority, which will use the results from the model as part of the basis for assessing applications for food fortification.
