Introduction: There is a wide availability of enriched/fortified products in our stores, and a need to know the patterns and trends of consumption in Spain.
Objective: To study the evolution of the availability of enriched/fortified drinks in Spanish households in the last 15 years.
Method: This study is based on household food purchases evaluated by Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Environment (2000-2014) in collaboration with the Spanish Nutrition Foundation (FEN).
Results: in a general way, an increase is observed in the availability of enriched beverages (2000 vs. 2014: 328%). More important in the group of juice drinks with milk (2000 vs. 2014: 535%). The availability of enriched juices showed an increase between 2000 and 2010, but in 2010 (9.6 g/person/day) began a decline in consumption, nevertheless consumption in 2014 (4.7 g/person/day) was higher than in 2000 (2.7 g/person/day). Enriched with vitamins juices are the most commonly purchased in all years studied (2000: 2.0 g/person/day; 2005: 5.0 g/person/day; 2010: 9.1 g/person/day; 2014: 4,3 g/person/ day).The evolution in the consumption of juices drinks with milk showed a continuous increase (2000: 2.0 g/person/day; 2005: 6.5 g/person/day; 2010: 7.9 g/person/day and 2014: 10.7 g/person/day).
Conclusion: An increase in the availability of enriched beverages in households is observed, so it is important to continue studying consumption, because food fortification with vitamins and minerals is currently considered as one of the main approaches to improve vitamin and mineral intake in populations.
