What is a Functional Food?

“All foods are functional at some physiological level, but it is the

position of the American Dietetic Association (ADA) that functional

foods that include whole foods and fortified, enriched, or enhanced

foods have a potentially beneficial effect on health when consumed

as part of a varied diet on a regular basis, at effective levels.“

Source: Hasler et al, J Am Diet Assoc. 2009 Apr;109(4):735-46.


Successful Fortification Programs

• Iodination: brain development in fetuses, thyroid control

• Vitamin D: Bone health

• Vitamin A: vision, immunity, fetal growth

• Iron: great global deficiency according to WHO

• Folic acid: Neural tube defects

• Zinc: immune health, fetal development (results of fortification

inconclusive)

• DHA: in 2016 EFSA made DHA addition to infant formula compulsory (EU

2016/127)
