The Department of Science and Technology - Food and Nutrition Research Institute has developed a technology for Iodine-Rich Drinking Water or "Tubig Talino" as a means to reported inadequate iodine intake of Filipinos.
Drinking five glasses of "Tubig Talino" at 250 milliliters each can meet 33 percent of the daily iodine requirement of the body. The Department of Health , through the Food and Drug Administration, sets and enforces standards for iodized salt and monitors compliance of salt manufacturers and distributors to ensure that the salt being sold in markets and retail stores is properly iodized.
However, cost-effectiveness of this program was said to be dependent on the amount of iodine in the salt that reaches the consumers at the household level and the salt intake of the households.
