Abstract: This policy-brief outlines key action points that the FSSAI may undertake to support “Vitamin D Kuposhan Mukt Bharat”. These include permitting a wider range of products to be fortified with Vitamin D from both plant-based and animal-based sources, mandating fortification in select products, strengthening research and innovation in fortification, defining high fat sugar and salt (HFSS), raising awareness and building consumer trust, improving effective monitoring to enhance fortification impact, integrating fortified food into dietary guidelines, and providing capacity-building and training to MSMEs on fortification.
