Current standards for food fortification are safe, cost effective preventive health measures for the general population. Israel has been slow to adopt food fortification, although low fat milk and margarine have by law been fortified with vitamin A and D for many decades. Infant supplements of vitamin A and D and iron are routine for many years. Since 1996 the Ministry of Health (MOH) appointed three expert committees all of which recommended mandatory fortification of salt with iodine, cows\u2019 milk with vitamin D, and flour with iron, vitamin B complex and folic acid. This policy we called \u201cthe Canadian model\u201d.<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">A conference at Ashkelon Academic College, co-sponsored with the Israeli Ministry of Health and the Israel Association of Public Health Physicians was held on 7 November 2019 to discuss Micronutrient Deficiencies in Israel and Food Fortification. Prof. Siegal Sadetzki, Director of the Public Health Service, and Prof. Ronit Endevelt, Director of Nutrition Department, MOH presented a new food fortification policy commitment of the Ministry. Guest keynote speaker Prof. Omar Dary presented an international overview of food fortification. Israeli presenters covered many topics on deficiencies in folic acid, vitamin D, iodine, iron, magnesium, and hospitalizations for rickets, all vital issues for human health in pregnancy and all ages. The MOH presented policies being adopted to mandate fortification of milk, salt and flour.<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">The conference was attended by over 350 health professionals from across the country. A summary panel strongly supported mandatory fortification. This conference marked a big step forward in nutritional security policies for reducing inequalities in the Israeli population. We recommend similar conferences in all European countries.<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">Zohar Mor MD MPH, BA Program in Public Health,<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">Niva Shapira PhD, BSc Program in Nutrition,<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">Ted Tulchinsky MD MPH, School of Health Professions\u201d<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">For follow up information please contact <u>tulchinskyted@hotmail.com<\/u><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aac.ac.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/ACC-MN-Conference-Proceedings-2019-Feb-19-12-FONT.pdf\">ACC MN Conference Proceedings 2019- Feb 19-12 FONT<\/a><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-bf0f9a3 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"bf0f9a3\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-44ad6c9\" data-id=\"44ad6c9\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cc59026 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"cc59026\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aac.ac.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/Conference-Panel-7-Nov-2019-002-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aac.ac.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/Conference-Panel-7-Nov-2019-002-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.aac.ac.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/Conference-Panel-7-Nov-2019-002-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.aac.ac.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/Conference-Panel-7-Nov-2019-002-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.aac.ac.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/Conference-Panel-7-Nov-2019-002-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cConference on Micronutrient Deficiencies and Food Fortification in Israel\u201d \u201cMultivitamin and mineral food fortification and supplements are important in modern public health.
