Abstract

Zambia introduced mandatory sugar fortification with vitamin A (VA) in 1998; however, regulatory monitoring and evaluation have been limited. We studied the contribution of VA-fortified sugar intake to dietary adequacy, and examined associations between usual sugar and VA intakes with plasma and breast milk retinol concentrations in lactating women in rural Zambia.
