The majority of pre-packaged baby foods available in Hong Kong lacked iron fortification, and did not display iron-related guidelines/cautions or their iron content on the package. Given the inconsistent fortification practices by manufacturers, labelling of iron content should be mandatory to assist parents in identifying iron-rich pre-packaged baby foods.
