Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI)

  • Assessment
  • Implementation
  • Planning
  • All micronutrient interventions
  • Diet
The amount of harmful residue within food items which in ratio with the daily body weight for every kilogram can be taken without any health risk.

Regulation on Food Safety (Chemical Contamination, toxin, and harmful residue), (2017).

Accessibility

  • Assessment
  • Implementation
  • Monitoring & Evaluation
  • Diet
  • Dietary Diversification
  • Food vehicle
  • Fortification
The potential acquisition of fortified food by consumers. In general term, the accessibility is the ability to access to an adequate variety and quantity of safe, good-quality foods for all people.

Accreditation

  • Monitoring & Evaluation
  • Supply-side
Approval by an accreditation body confirming the management systems and competence of a certification body to provide certification services against a specified standard.

Act

  • Monitoring & Evaluation
  • Demand-side
  • Supply-side
A statute that is formally enacted in accordance with the legislative power granted to Congress by the U.S. Constitution

Addition rate (also known as feed rate)

  • Implementation
  • Monitoring & Evaluation
  • Fortification
  • Supply-side
The amount of a fortificant or fortificant premix that is added to food vehicle (flour, rice, salt, etc) during the fortification process. Addition rate may be expressed as the amount of fortificant per certain unit of food vehicle (e.g. grams per ton or metric ton for flour or rice, milligrams per kilogram for salt; or amount as per period of production time such as grams per minute.

Adequate Intake (AI)

  • Assessment
  • Implementation
  • Planning
  • All micronutrient interventions
  • Diet
A recommended average daily nutrient intake level based on observed or experimentally determined approximations or estimates of nutrient intake by a group (or groups) of apparently healthy people that are assumed to be adequate; used when a recommended dietary allowance (RDA) cannot be determined.

Adolescent

  • Implementation
  • Planning
  • All micronutrient interventions
The phase of life between childhood and adulthood, from ages 10 to 19.

Adult male equivalent (AME)

  • Assessment
  • Implementation
  • Monitoring & Evaluation
  • Planning
  • All micronutrient interventions
  • Demand-side
  • Diet
The energy intake of each family member in proportion to the energy intake of an adult male. It is typically used with surveys that provide information on apparent intake. The AME of an adult male is always assumed to be 1. Although it varies among authors, a child aged 2–3 years is about 0.37 AME, and an adult woman (18–29 years), neither pregnant nor lactating, is about 0.74 AME. For pregnant and lactating women energy intake is around 1 AME. The AME approach is often used to provide information on consumption when apparent intake is calculated through indirect means such as national balance sheets, household economic surveys, and similar methods that do not collect food intake information directly from individuals but through secondary analysis of reports of food availability, access, and acquisition.

Adulteration

  • Monitoring & Evaluation
  • Supply-side
The addition of an undeclared material into a food item for economic gain.

Adverse effects

  • Assessment
  • Implementation
  • Biochemical
  • Demand-side
  • Fortification
  • Supplementation
In the toxicological sense, defined symptoms of poor or undesirable health resulting from administration of a toxin or excess amounts of a nutrient.
