Under mandatory fortification, what foods will folic acid be added to?
Folic acid will be added to wheat flour for making bread. Food products that are made with wheat bread-making flour can be expected to contain folic acid under mandatory fortification. Foods assumed to contain wheat-based bread-making flour are: all plain, fancy, sweet and flat breads and bread rolls, muffins, crumpets, scones, pancakes, pikelets, crepes, yeast donuts, pizza bases and crumbed products. Check the ingredient list to see whether folic acid has been added (sometimes listed as folate). Organic bread will not be required to contain folic acid.
