ABSTRACT:
A ready-to-eat cereal product fortified with ferric EDTA as the iron source. The cereal product comprises about 0.1 to about 300 mg of ferric EDTA product per ounce of said cereal product, preferably 13 to 140 mg per ounce. The total iron content present is in the range of about 0.1 to about 39 mg per ounce of the cereal product, and preferably about 1.8 to 18 mg per ounce. The cereal product can also be fortified with a ferric EDTA complex in combination with an additional iron fortificant. The invention also provides for a method to prevent or treat iron-deficiency anemia by administering a ferric EDTA fortified ready-to-eat cereal.
