Objective To investigate the status of nutritional fortification labeling of pre-packaged foods, and to provide reference for the revision of food standard. Methods Cross-sectional survey method was conducted in 11 categories of food which were allowed to fortified in National Food Safety Standard for the use of food nutritional fortifier in foods(GB 14880-2012). A total of 3 760 label samples were collected during April to October in 2016, the number of fortified nutrients in each category food and its frequency were statistically analyzed. Results A total of 489 out of 3 760 samples were fortified with different nutrients, the total fortified frequency was 13.0% and there was a big difference between different categories of foods. Milk and dairy products, beverage products, grain and grain products had higher fortification proportion, which were 39.7%(160/403), 15.0%(151/1 006) and 14.0%(76/542), and prepared milk powder (110 samples) was all fortified, much higher than other types of food. A total of 411 samples in frozen drinks, fruit paste, soy milk, gum-based candy, rice products, cereal powder and its products were not fortified. The frequencies of fortified nutrients, vitamin A, D, E, B, calcium, iron and zinc were higher whereas phosphorus, γ-linolenic acid, lactoferrin, casein phosphopeptides was lower. Conclusion The overall fortification status of pre-packaged food was not optimistic. It was suggested that in the revision of GB 14880-2012, a systematic assessment should be made to decide which kind of food was suitable for food nutrition fortification carrier and which nutrient was suitable to be added, so as to improve the micronutrient intake of residents, and improve market variety and promote industrial innovation.
