Voluntary food fortification is regulated at European level through Regulation (EC) No 25 1925/2006. To evaluate the impact of the Regulation on the European diet, Member States 26 were asked to monitor dietary exposure to micronutrients through voluntarily fortified 27 foods. This paper aims to identify some of the issues for Member States in providing the 28 relevant monitoring information for the Regulation, and to suggest potential alternatives to 29 the ‘ideal’ information that could assist the European Commission in assessing the impact of 30 the Regulation.
