In 66 percent of the localities, pre-formed vitamin A was under 30 percent of the total According to the Interdepartmental Committee on Nutrition for National Defense (ICNND) surveys in South American and Caribbean areas, 60 percent of the localities surveyed had intakes under 3,000 I.U. per person per day, and 26 percent, under 1,000 I.U.
