dc.description.abstract | Fortification of two staple foods, maize meal and wheat flour (bread), is mandatory,
and commercial infant products are widely available in South Africa. Using a 24

hr
recall, we determined the contribution of these foods towards nutrient intakes at ages
6(
n
= 715), 12 (
n
= 446), and 18 (
n
= 213) months in a cohort of children in a peri
‐
urban community, North West province. On the day of recall, commercial infant prod-
ucts were consumed by 83% of children at 6 months, 46% at 12 months, and 15% at
18 months; fortified staples were consumed by 23%, 81%, and 96%, respectively. For
consumers thereof, commercial infant products contributed 33% energy and 94% iron
intakes at 6 months and 27% energy and 56% iron intakes at 12 months; nutrient
densities of the complementary diet was higher than for nonconsumers for most
micronutrients. For consumers of fortified staples, energy contribution thereof was
11% at 6 months versus 29% at 18 months; at 18 months, fortified staples contrib-

30% of iron, zinc, vitamin A, thiamine, niacin, vitamin B6, and folate; at
12 months, nutrient densities of the complementary diet were higher for zinc, folate,
and vitamin B6 but lower for calcium, iron, vitamin A, niacin, and vitamin C than non-
consumers. At ages 12 and 18 months, ~75% of children had low calcium intakes. At
12 months, 51.4% of consumers versus 25.0% (
P
= 0.005) of nonconsumers of forti-
fied staples had adequate intakes (

despite fortification, nutrient gaps remain | en_US |
