The NHS warn that pregnant and breastfeeding women, babies and children under the age of five are at particular risk of a vitamin D deficiency. They state that oily fish is an excellent food source of vitamin D for these population groups. Other examples are fortified fat spreads, fortified breakfast cereals and some powdered milks.
