Factors influencing the implementation of food fortification regulation among small and medium-scale corn millers in Dar es Salaam Tanzania: a qualitative study

Laxity in implementing food fortification as an important population-wide approach in addressing micronutrient deficiency is evident in Tanzania. This is triggered by non-punitive measures for non-compliance of the regulation among micro, small and medium-scale corn millers. Strengthening efforts to identify and implement measures against non-compliers, demand creation for fortified products through educational and advocacy interventions, and supportive supervision can help reach more than 90% of the population with fortified corn flour in Tanzania.
