Abstract

Daily dietary iron intake for adults in Belgium has been re-evaluated by duplicate portion sampling, the heating of samples in a microwave oven and atomic absorption spectrometric determination of the element. The mean intake value for adults (11.3±4.4 mg/day) is similar to levels found for most other countries, i.e. above the recommended daily allowance of 10 mg/day for adult men, but below the value for adult women, i.e. 15 mg/day.
