Iron salt fortificants such as NaFeEDTA have the potential to be used widely as an . Milk could be a potentially useful food vehicle for iron fortification of the daily free school milk program in Thailand. Objectives: To investigate of iron fortified milk (NaFeEDTA) with a 5 mg iron/sachet/day given to a group school children. Design: One hundred and sixty school aged children (86 males and ) were enrolled and divided into 2 groups: Group 1 received fortified milk (FM) 2) received non fortified milk (NF). A sachet of milk was served daily for 5 days per 200 ml milk containing 5 mg Fe as NaFeEDTA (FM) or not fortified milk (NF) for 3 monthsConcentrations of hemoglobin(Hb), serum ferritin (SF), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), were measured at baseline and after 3 months the developments. Results: There were statistical differences in the changes concentration (Hb), mean cell volumes (MCV), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin.(MCH), between the fortified milk and non fortified milk group at a significance level of p<: Fortification of milk in connection with a free school milk program is feasible be used as a preventive measure against iron depletion in areas with a high rate of Words: Iron, food fortification, iron deficiency anemia, school aged children1. micronutrient deficiencies, iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is an health issue. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), worldwide,.about two billion people are anemic, with the main cause being a deficiency in . The progress in controlling IDA over the last few decades, however, is could be due to the fact that in the past, attention had been drawn mainly to anemia estimated on the grounds of the prevalence of below thresholds, and not to the iron status of population groups as suchIn one recent publication, the WHO stated that ‘not all anemic people are iron iron deficiency may occur without anemia’. A meaningful public health towards prevention of IDA therefore might include investigation of of other causes of anemia in a given population. As far as iron deficiency , implementing measures to improve the iron status of population groups and,.as early as possible in the life time of people at risk, . for school children IDA. Thailand is one of the countries facing the problem of IDA. The Public Health (MOPH) of the Thai government indicated that the prevalence of from % in the year 1995 to % in 2003. From a National Food Survey conducted in Thailand around the year 2000 it is known that of anemia in school-age children (6-14 years of age) amounted to % hematocrit threshold values as criteria and % when using hemoglobin criteria. One way to prevent iron deficiency in school children might be . Since 1992 the Royal Thai government has maintained a free (200ml/child/day) to preschool children in the communities and public . This program was used as a vehicle for a fortification trial by the investigatorsIt is known that iro
