Palestinian flour fortification formula.

The Palestinian Flour Fortification Formula aims to enhance public health through the fortification of wheat flour with essential micronutrients and specifies the required nutrient composition for fortified flour, including folic acid, iron, some B vitamins, and vitamins A and D, as well as other components with defined minimum, maximum, and tolerance levels. The Palestinian Premix Specifications outline parameters for nutrient content, particle size, additives, humidity, bulk density, packaging, and features, ensuring product quality. Safety standards regulate physical, chemical, and microbiological properties, including heavy metal limits and microbiological contamination thresholds. Labeling requirements provide details such as product name, manufacturer, lot number, production and expiration dates, additives, storage conditions, and a fortification logo. Sampling, testing, and analysis follow pharmaceutical standards, ensuring quality and safety. The second part of the document deals with the registration requirement of Fortificants for Wheat Flour (Premix). It states that importers or premix agents must register the wheat flour fortificant with the Ministry of Health before use or marketing by submitting the required documents, including the master formula, and raw material specifications. Compliance requirements also include the provision of samples for analysis and payment of registration fees, highlighting the strategic priority of ensuring that all fortification practices meet established health standards.
