Micronutrient deficiencies in Mexico
The report finds that many major maize flour brands in Mexico use non-recommended iron sources, such as electrolytic iron, which have low bioavailability in nixtamalized flour. While most refined wheat flours follow recommendations, wholegrain varieties often do not meet WHO standards. The authors call for updated legislation and stricter government monitoring of production and imports to combat widespread iron deficiency.
