Fortification of Enriched Grain Products with Folic Acid

Summary

The bill would mandate that wheat flour, corn flour, breads, cereals, corn masa, corn masa flour, corn masa products, and white rice products sold for human consumption in Florida contain specified amounts of folic acid and be labeled accordingly. It targets manufacturers and sellers of these foods, aiming to lower neural tube defects, especially in minority communities that rely on corn masa and white rice. The measure failed, dying in the Senate Agriculture Committee.
