What is the MFI?

The Micronutrient Fortification Index (MFI) is grounded in a logical framework which distills the essential elements of quality management and fortification under key headers, easily recognized by participants, regulators, consumers and other key stakeholder groups. These elements form the characteristics of effective food processing businesses, with examples such as Production, Procurement & Inputs Management, and Governance.

Self-Assessment Tool (SAT)

Core to the MFI is a self-assessment tool that participating companies will own and update at intervals with the option of completing a full or abridged version. The SAT will enable companies to assess the salient elements of their quality management systems, values, and governance.
