Abstract—The problems of anemia, especially in Indonesia is still high due to the lack of nutrient daily intake of iron. One effective strategy to reduce the problem is through the iron fortification of soy foods. The addition of iron complex compounds in soy foods can add nutritional value by increased iron that can reduce the potential of anemia. Various iron supplementations performed on soy-based foods such as tempeh, tofu, and soy milk. This article reviews presentations on iron fortification programs of soy foods. The percentage of iron fortification in tempeh, tofu and soy milk can achieve a great value that is respectively 80-90%, 50-60% and 55-60%.
