What is the Doves Farm position on mandatory fortification of Folic Acid to flour?
We would like to encourage the industry to fortify more foods with folic acid on a voluntary basis and increase the eductation of the population which are most susseptable. This is our favoured option aw well as the favourite option for the Soil Association and the Institute of Biology. With this option we can address a number of real concerns, not just folate deficiencies. Young women can be educated at to the dangers of folate deficiency and the complications that could arise through deficiency.
