DOST taps water refilling stations to fortify water with iodine

IN response to the reported inadequate iodine intake of Filipinos as reflected in the results of the Department of Science and Technology's Food and Nutrition Research Institute (DOST–FNRI)- Expanded National Nutrition Survey (ENNS) in 2021, DOST–FNRI developed a technology for Iodine-Rich Drinking Water or "Tubig Talino."

DOST-FNRI continuously transfers this to qualified adopters, like operators of water refilling stations, to help combat iodine deficiency.
