RA No. 8976

Food fortification means adding important vitamins and minerals to common foods to help keep people healthy and prevent sickness caused by lack of nutrients.

In the Philippines, this is guided by Republic Act No. 8976 or the Philippine Food Fortification Act of 2000. The goal of this law is to help reduce malnutrition and prevent illnesses caused by lack of Vitamin A, iron, and iodine.
Foods Required to be Fortified
The government requires some everyday foods to have added nutrients before they are sold:

Rice – with Iron
Flour – with Vitamin A and Iron
Sugar – with Vitamin A
Cooking Oil – with Vitamin A

These nutrients help:
strengthen the immune system
prevent anemia
support proper growth and development
improve overall health of children and adults

What is Sangkap Pinoy Seal?

Some companies voluntarily add extra vitamins and minerals to their products. If approved by the Department of Health, they receive the Sangkap Pinoy Seal. This seal tells consumers that the product contains added nutrients that may help improve nutrition.

Why is Food Fortification Important?

Food fortification helps families get important nutrients even from the foods they eat every day. It is a simple and effective way to help fight malnutrition in the community.

Reminder to the Community
When buying food products, check the labels and look for:

“Fortified”
“With Vitamin A/Iron”
“Sangkap Pinoy Seal”

Healthy food choices help build a healthier family and healthier community.

The first hydroponic lettuce harvest of Barangay Luz has officially begun, and the first batch of fresh lettuce was distributed to our dedicated health workers. We are truly thankful for this meaningful milestone.
This project, made possible through the support of PN to Barangay Luz, was created to promote food security and sustainability for our beneficiaries. It is more than just a farming initiative—it is a step toward building a stronger and more self-sufficient community.
To CAD sa ila net nga gisupport. Barangay officials headed ni kap Renato Labrador BNC Chair, ug BNAO kons mark Mark Guerra
In the near future, we envision this becoming a livelihood program for our beneficiaries. The harvested lettuce will be sold, and the income generated will be used to purchase additional hydroponic sets for distribution to more beneficiaries. In turn, their earnings can help fund even more hydroponic systems, creating a cycle of opportunity, growth, and empowerment for many families.
With hope, dedication, and continuous support, we believe that soon Barangay Luz can become one of the trusted suppliers of fresh lettuce in Cebu City. We are hopeful that this vision will soon become a reality.
