Iron salt fortificants such as NaFeEDTA have the potential to be used widely as an iron fortificant . Milk could be a potentially useful food vehicle for iron fortification programs because of the daily free school milk program in Thailand. Objectives To investigate the feasibility of iron fortified milk NaFeEDTA with a 5 mg iron sachet day given to a group of primary school children. Design One hundred and sixty school aged children 86 males and 74 females were enrolled and divided into 2 groups Group 1 received fortified milk FM and group 2 received non fortified milk NF . A sachet of milk was served daily for 5 days per week as 200 ml milk containing 5 mg Fe as NaFeEDTA FM or not fortified milk NF for 3 months. Concentrations of hemoglobin Hb serum ferritin SF mean corpuscular volume MCV and mean corpuscular hemoglobin MCH were measured at baseline and after 3 months to determine the developments. Results There were statistical differences in the changes of hemoglobin concentration Hb mean cell volumes MCV and mean corpuscular hemoglobin MCH between the fortified milk and non fortified milk group at a significance level ofp . Conclusions Fortification of milk in connection with a free school milk program is feasible and might be used as a preventive measure against iron depletion in areas with a high rate of iron deficiency.
