Food fortification programmes can only be successful and sustainable if food producers continuously assure the produced food meets the fortification standards, and regulatory monitoring or food control conducted at production level (external monitoring), borders (import monitoring), and retail stores (commercial monitoring) ensures all of the food supply complies with food legislation and standards (Allen et al. 2006; Luthringer et al. 2015; Rowe et al. 2018). Laboratory analysis plays an important role in measuring the micronutrient content and confirming the quality of fortified food. Only reliable and validated analytical data can serve as a sound basis to prove compliance with legal levels/standards and label declarations and recommend appropriate follow-up actions.
