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.
