This week is World Iron Awareness Week 🩸

Did you know that iron deficiency is one of the most common nutrient deficiencies worldwide, affecting around 30% of the global population?

Red meat is a natural source of haem iron, which is more easily absorbed and utilised by the body than the non-haem iron found in plant-based foods. Iron deficiency is also one of the leading causes of anaemia, making iron-rich foods an important part of a balanced diet. 🥩

This World Iron Awareness Week, remember to include iron-rich foods as part of a healthy and varied diet.
