Iron is an essential element for good health. Ferric Sodium EDTA is a highly effective iron source in food
fortification to combat iron deficiency anemia. Ferric Sodium EDTA is recommended by the World Health
Organization as the preferred iron fortificant for wheat and maize flour. Furthermore Ferric Sodium EDTA
can be used in drinks without development of any metallic taste and has been accepted for food use in
nearly all countries worldwide.
The main advantages of Ferric Sodium EDTA in food fortification are:
Completely water soluble
No metallic taste
No teeth staining
No digestive side effects
Virtually inert to almost all other food ingredients
High bioavailability: up to 2 to 4 times higher than other regular used iron sources
Applications
Ferric Sodium EDTA can be used in many food products, but it is primarily used to fortify foods that are
stored in dry form such as powdered beverages, candy bars and flour. Examples of flour-derived products are bread, biscuits and instant noodles. Colored drinks and condiments, such as cola or
soy sauce, and functional foods like fortified cereals or sport drinks are also good targets for iron fortification.
Ferric Sodium EDTA can also be used in iron containing food supplements under various forms (like syrups,
sprays, tablets and powder sachets).
