Establishes "Fortifying Corn Masa Act."

Summary

The Fortifying Corn Masa Act mandates that all corn masa flour sold in New Jersey be fortified with folic acid at a specific level, and it allows wet corn masa products to be fortified as well. It also requires clear labeling of the added folic acid and the masa ingredient. The goal is to lower the higher rates of neural‑tube birth defects seen in Latino communities that rely on corn masa as a dietary staple.
