The term "fortified" refers to the practice of adding nutrients to a food that were not originally present in significant amounts. This is done to improve the nutritional value of the food.

The term "enriched" typically refers to adding back nutrients that were removed during processing, such as adding B vitamins to white flour.

Genetically modified foods involve the manipulation of the organism's genetic material, which is not the same as adding nutrients.
