Vitamin D fortification was studied, verifying the following aspects:
– About 28% of the Brazilian population has vitamin D deficiency;
– Foods that are naturally sources of vitamin D are not usually consumed (for example: cod liver oil);
– 80% of the supply of Vitamin D comes from skin exposure to sunlight and a large part of the population does not have adequate exposure;
– Bread is a widely consumed food throughout Brazil, being a great vehicle for vitamin fortification.
French bread roll with Samba D is a great option to help supply Vitamin D, contributing 15% of the RDI (recommended daily intake) in 50g of bread, the equivalent of a French bread. In addition, it allows the consumption of bread in a healthier way, with the contribution of the benefits of sourdough.
