Enriched means nutrients that were lost during food processing have been added back while fortified means vitamins or minerals have been added to a food that weren't originally in the food

Enrichment are nutrients that were lost during food processing have been added back. An example is adding back certain vitamins lost in processing wheat to make white flour. Fortification are vitamins or minerals that have been added to a food that weren't originally in the food.
