A staged fortification system and a method of providing fortification on a staged basis to infants involves feeding an infant a Vitamin C fortified juice when the infant is from 3 to 6 months of age, feeding the infant a Vitamin C and iron fortified juice when the infant is from 6 to 9 months of age, feeding the infant a Vitamin C, iron and zinc fortified juice when the infant is from 9 to 12 months of age, and feeding the infant a Vitamin C, iron, zinc and calcium fortified juice when the infant is 1 year of age and older.
