To assess the absolute bioavailability of iron from 4 different iron fortified savoury food products
Amounts of Fe isotopic label present in the blood 14 days after administration of the fortified savoury food product will be calculated based on measured shifts in the iron isotope ratios in the blood samples (Day 15) compared to baseline and the amount of iron circulating in the body
Time frame: 15 days
To assess the relative bioavailability of iron from iron fortified savoury food products
The absolute bioavailability results of each of the iron fortified savoury products as obtained under the primary objective will be compared with each other
Time frame: 15 days
