The Philippines’ Food and Nutrition Research of the Department of Science and Technology (FNRI-DOST) has developed a canton noodle fortified with seaweed as part of its efforts to solve iodine deficiency disorder (IDD) in the country.
The FNRI-DOST said the noodles fortified with "lato and guso," which are common especially along the coastal areas in the country, have been found to contain the amount of iodine needed by the body.
