Overview
The Science of Micronutrient Fortification
Your flour mill earns the FSSAI +F logo, your oil refinery qualifies for government and WFP procurement, and the communities your products reach see measurable reductions in micronutrient deficiency — without any change to taste, texture, or existing diet. NFHS-5 data shows 67% of Indian children aged 6–59 months are anaemic; premix-fortified staples are the most cost-effective public health intervention to change that number. NutraX Biotech manufactures the premixes that go into the staple foods consumed by billions — ensuring iron, folic acid, vitamins A, B12, D, and zinc reach populations through the food they already eat every day.
India's national programmes — POSHAN 2.0, PM Poshan (the midday meal scheme), and the Eat Right India fortification mandate — all require staples fortified to FSSAI standards and carrying the +F logo, which signals compliance with the FSS (Fortification of Foods) Regulations 2018. Our premixes are formulated to meet every level of this regulatory framework.
We work with government agencies, WFP-tier humanitarian organisations, major FMCG brands, and mid-market millers across 30+ countries. Every formulation is built to specification, validated through accelerated shelf-life studies, and shipped with NABL-accredited third-party Certificates of Analysis.

Fortification Vehicles
Food Fortification Premix Products — Vehicles We Serve
Wheat & Atta Flour Premix
Meet FSSAI +F logo requirements and reduce iron deficiency anaemia in your consumer base — engineered for both industrial roller mills and small-scale atta chakki operations, with microencapsulated options for long shelf-life and sensory neutrality.
Key nutrients
Rice Fortification Premix (FRK)
Qualify for WFP, USDA, and POSHAN 2.0 procurement — micronutrient premix formulated to WFP, USDA, and FSSAI rice fortification specifications for FRK kernel production. Nutrient levels calibrated to target blend ratios and programme requirements.
Key nutrients
Edible Oil Fortification
Restore vitamins A and D lost in refining, stable through every frying cycle — oil-dispersible premixes validated for thermal stability in groundnut, sunflower, soybean, and palm oil matrices.
Key nutrients
Milk & Dairy Premix
Fortify milk with micronutrients that survive pasteurisation and spray drying — heat-stable vitamin A, D, and B-complex forms validated for liquid milk, UHT, flavoured milk, skimmed milk powder, and infant formula.
Key nutrients
Salt Iodization Premix
Eliminate iodine deficiency disorders at population scale — consistent iodine concentrations for industrial salt manufacturers and self-help group programmes, formulated to FSSAI and Codex Alimentarius mandates.
Key nutrients
Double Fortified Salt (DFS)
Address iron and iodine deficiency simultaneously through the daily diet — used in mid-day meal schemes and POSHAN 2.0. Microencapsulated iron prevents discolouration while maintaining bioavailability. Supplied to government and WFP tenders.
Key nutrients
Maize / Corn Flour Premix
Meet WFP and USAID programme specifications for South Asia and Central America — vitamin A, iron, folic acid, zinc, and B-vitamins. Full compliance documentation provided per shipment.

Levels reflect the minimum–maximum micronutrient addition ranges set out in the FSSAI FSS (Fortification of Foods) Regulations 2018; salt follows FSSAI and BIS IS 16232:2014, and maize the WHO 2016 maize flour fortification guideline. Final premix dosage is calculated per processing overrun and target end-product level. Figures are indicative — request our specification sheet for the controlling document.

Technical
Manufacturing Capabilities for Compliant Premix Production
Every premix we produce goes through a rigorous formulation and quality process — from ingredient selection and particle size validation, through to stability testing and documentation preparation.
View our R&D and Quality AssuranceParticle size control
D50 and D90 specifications matched to each vehicle's blending requirements, preventing segregation and ensuring homogeneous distribution throughout the end product.
Microencapsulation technology
Lipid and starch-based encapsulation protects iron and vitamins from oxidation, moisture, and heat — extending shelf life and eliminating sensory off-notes.
Overrun & retention calculations
Formulations account for processing losses specific to each vehicle — milling, extrusion, pasteurisation, and storage — so end-product nutrient levels stay within specification.
Full batch traceability
Every lot ships with a NABL-accredited third-party CoA, batch manufacturing records, shelf-life test data, and audit-ready documentation packs.
Bioavailability-optimised mineral forms
Ferrous fumarate, ferrous bisglycinate, and ferric pyrophosphate — selected per programme requirement and vehicle chemistry to maximise absorbed iron.
