Abstract
A fortified foodstuff having a fortifying amount of an inorganic compound prepared from sources of ferrous or ferric iron, phosphate and ammonium. These compounds provide an iron fortification system which does not deleteriously affect organoleptic properties of the foodstuff, and which is particularly useful for products containing polyphenols (cocoa, tea, etc.), or which have a high fat content.
