Fortified rice: questions, myths and facts

“FRK and fortified rice are the same.”

They are different stages of the product. FRK is a blending ingredient; fortified rice is the resulting rice product. This distinction affects formulation, ordering and use.

“A float test tells me everything.”

A home float test cannot establish nutrient content or replace product identification and appropriate laboratory assessment. Raise concerns using the pack details, lot number and supplier documentation.

“Every formulation uses the same ratio.”

The declared formulation and blending instructions matter. Check the pack and applicable specification instead of assuming a universal dosing rule.

“Fortification replaces a varied diet.”

Fortification is one approach to improving micronutrient intake. It is not a substitute for a varied diet or individual medical care where needed.
