Tag: Calcium fortified orange juice

Over 2 billion people worldwide suffer from a lack of essential vitamins and minerals, a condition known as hidden hunger. For many consumers, the term 'enriched' is mistakenly applied to practices like adding calcium to orange juice, but this process is correctly known as fortification.

According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, most people don't consume enough calcium. This is the primary reason why orange juice is fortified with this essential mineral, providing a convenient and well-absorbed alternative for those who don't get sufficient amounts from dairy or other food sources.
