Adding Folic Acid To Flour

The Department of Health and Social Care, alongside devolved governments in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, is mandating folic acid fortification of flour to improve public health outcomes, particularly for pregnant women and reducing neural tube defects. The policy involves amending the Bread and Flour Regulations 1998 and equivalent Northern Ireland regulations, with related amendments to processed cereal-based foods and baby foods regulations in Scotland. Current status involves active legislative progress through the Bread and Flour Regulations (Folic Acid) Bill [HL].
