PREMIXES
Staple food fortification
Increasing nutrition in developing countries with the micronutrient fortification of staple foods
There are no simple solutions to micronutrient deficiencies and the life-threatening conditions they cause in at-risk populations around the globe. These conditions often harm the most vulnerable, especially young women and children. Accordingly, each challenge requires a nutritionally, logistically, and culturally tailored approach to staple food fortification.
At Prinova, we use our expertise and resources to help develop food fortification solutions for developing countries. These can include staple food premixes and vitamin-fortified flour that can make a lasting impact against any micronutrient deficiencies they might face. Therefore, as a proud member of the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN), we support the vision of the Food Fortification Initiative and help supply the World Food Programme and other development organisations.

Part of the staple food fortification solution
Fortifying staple foods can help overcome serious micronutrient deficiency challenges. Significantly, vitamin-fortified flour and rice have repeatedly proven superior, cost-effective delivery vehicles for custom nutrition, including iron, zinc, folic acid, and B vitamins. As a result, these nutrients reduce the risk of infant neural tube defects and help prevent anaemia in the human body.
At Prinova, we’re committed to advancing human nutrition and being part of the staple food fortification solution. Therefore, as a nutrition ingredients supplier of choice for non-governmental organisations, suppliers, manufacturers, millers, and related agencies worldwide, we’re proud to apply our expertise, connections, and capabilities to global nutrition development.
Deep nutritional knowledge
Prinova is one of the most trusted names in the industry, bringing deep knowledge of the science and business of nutrition in developing countries. In fact, we’re one of the few global partners who can provide everything from single ingredients to custom nutrient premixes. Together with this knowledge, our strong technical expertise in specialist areas, including micronisation and particle size enhancement, is guaranteed.
Nutrient premix expertise
Solving malnourishment challenges often requires the strategic integration of multiple nutrients. Therefore, our experts can create staple food premixes, combining ingredients into efficient, stable, cost-effective powder or liquid forms. Our development team also works with millers, food manufacturers, and product developers to create premix solutions, including compliance with mandated, voluntary, or pilot projects.
Vitamin-fortified flour
Together with cooking oils and other micronutrient food fortification ingredients, flour can be fortified to target specific conditions. To that end, you can take advantage of our expertise in wheat flour fortification, maize, rice flour, and other staple food applications, including cooking oils, spreads, and margarine. Our expert team can also develop product samples, prototypes, and different formulations to enhance development and production.
Global manufacturing facilities
Wherever nutrition is needed in developing countries, Prinova can deliver it by using our strategic locations around the globe. Because we maintain our own ingredient inventories and premix facilities, we can be adaptable and agile, helping us respond quickly and meet any demand. With multiple facilities in Europe, China, and the United States, we provide manufacturing for micronutrient food fortification worldwide.
