    Fortification can be used to manipulate some health rating systems. I don’t know what system Canada uses, but Health Star is particularly vulnerable to this. Basically you can make a product that’s high in fat / salt / sugar look better than it is by adding vitamins. So it makes some kind of sense to restrict fortification to certain classes of foods.
