  abstract = {{T}argeted fortification programs for infants and young children are an effective strategy to prevent micronutrient deficiencies in developing countries, but the role of large-scale fortification of staple foods and condiments is less clear. {D}ietary modeling in children aged 6-60 months was undertaken, based on food consumption patterns described in the 2009 national food consumption survey, using a 24-h recall method. {C}onsumption data showed that the median intake of a child for iron, vitamin {A} and zinc, as a proportion of the {V}ietnamese {R}ecommended {D}ietary {A}llowance ({VRDA}), is respectively 16%-48%, 14%-49% and 36%-46%, (depending on the age group). {P}otential fortification vehicles, such as rice, fish/soy sauces and vegetable oil are consumed daily in significant amounts (median: 170 g/capita/day, 4 g/capita/day and 6 g/capita/day, respectively) by over 40% of the children. {V}egetable oil fortification could contribute to an additional vitamin {A} intake of 21%-24% of {VRDA} recommended nutrient intake, while fortified rice could support the intakes of all the other micronutrients (14%-61% for iron, 4%-11% for zinc and 33%-49% of folate requirements). {O}ther food vehicles, such as wheat flour, which is consumed by 16% of children, could also contribute to efforts to increase micronutrient intakes, although little impact on the prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies can be expected if used alone. {T}he modeling suggests that fortification of vegetable oil, rice and sauces would be an effective strategy to address micronutrient gaps and deficiencies in young children.},
