Full test results and sample information - English

The document presents a comprehensive dataset of iron and zinc concentrations in wheat and corn flours, including fortified and non-fortified samples. It details the brand, producer, and specific iron sources (such as ferrous fumarate, ferrous sulphate, and electrolytic iron) for products across multiple Mexican states and imported brands.

• The quantitative test results for iron and zinc vary significantly across brands; for example, Maseca's 'Harina de Maíz Nixtamalizado Tamal Sin Gluten' (M012F03) showed an iron result of 124 mg/kg and a zinc result of 88 mg/kg.
• Several products are explicitly identified as not fortified, including organic wheat flours from Bob's Red Mill and certain bulk wheat flours from Hoja de Plata.
• Common iron sources declared on product labels include ferrous fumarate, ferrous sulphate, and electrolytic iron.
• Many fortified flours in the sample set are labeled as being added with folic acid, iron, and zinc, and restored with vitamins B1, B2, and B3.
• The analysis includes a specific category for hot cake flour mixes, with results for brands such as Tres Estrellas, Cuetara, Gamesa, and Pronto.
• The sample collection covers a wide range of retail types in Mexico, including wholesale stores for members, large retail chains, convenience stores, and traditional markets (tianguis).
