Chart ID: 352

How to Interpret this Visualization

The interactive chart shows a cumulative count of countries with mandatory food fortification, and the year in which fortification was first mandated. You may filter by income status, geographic region, and food vehicle(s). Country classifications for income status are from the World Bank and region are from the United Nations.
