Serendib Flour Mills celebrates World Food Day with sustainable and nutritious wheat-flour products

Serendib Flour Mills proudly upholds its mission to nourish the nation as the preferred supplier of nutritious and wholesome wheat products on the occasion of World Food Day which is celebrated on 16 October every year. Manufacturing the finest wheat flour products in the country for over a decade, Serendib Flour Mills is well aligned with the World Food Day theme of ‘Sustainability and Healthy Diets’ as its wheat flour range is packed with amazing health benefits! Its ‘7 Star’ brand of healthy and nutritious wheat flour products caters to diverse dietary preferences and is packed with rich nutritional content and essential vitamins and minerals.  

Serendib Flour Mills (SFML) is the preferred supplier of wheat flour for leading bakers, eateries, hotels, households, industries and consumers, having carved out a niche for itself for delivering quality and highly nutritious wheat flour products. The company is making a vital contribution in the nation’s fight against Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes, blood pressure, etc., by promoting whole wheat flour, which has a low glycaemic index and high fibre content to maintain health and vitality. 

Wholemeal flour in particular supplies a good supply of dietary fibre, manganese, vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, and E and folic acid, as well as calcium, phosphorus, zinc, copper, protein, magnesium, and iron. More significantly, the vitamin and mineral-rich embryo of the wheat kernel, called wheat germ, is retained in whole wheat, making whole wheat products a must for healthy diets as wheat germ is a valuable source of vitamin E. 

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the Ministry of Health one in every three school going children is suffering from iron deficiency (anaemia). Serendib Flour Mills as a responsible corporate citizen has introduced fortified flour with iron and folic acid to address anaemia & folic deficiency issues in the country. 7 Star Fortified flour is available as Household Flour in 5 kg and 25 kg packs and as all-purpose flour in 1 kg and 5 kg packs which are all fortified with iron and folic acid to address these issues.
