KELLOGG'S

The company which has supplied the funding for the mass salt fluoridation programs in Latin America is Kellogg’s, through the Kellogg Foundation.

In the 1980s it helped implement universal salt fluoridation in Costa Rica and Peru.

In 1996 it supplied a multi-year grant worth $750,000 to start mass salt fluoridation programs which were then carried out by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), covering 350 million people in Bolivia, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama and Venezuela.

The project was part of a multi-year plan launched by PAHO in 1994 to “fluoridate the entire Region of the Americas”.
