The UK recently mandated the fortification of non-wholemeal flour with the synthetic drug, folic acid. A move that violates informed consent and restricts consumer choice.
While natural folate is a fundamental, bioavailable nutrient found in whole foods, synthetic folic acid behaves entirely differently in the human body, presenting serious health risks as it floods the bloodstream and blocks key brain receptors.
In November 2024, an amendment was passed to the Bread and Flour Regulations (covering England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland), placing a legal requirement on millers and flour producers to add folic acid to non-wholemeal wheat flour. This comes into full effect at the end of 2026, and the only exceptions are wholewheat flour, flour produced by small mills (in the UK or any other country), and flour produced to make communion wafers, matzos, gluten or starch.
CALL TO ACTION: PETITION: 'End the mandatory fortification of white flour with folic acid immediately' to sign and share.
UKMFA and HART sent an Open Letter to James Murray, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, warning him of the dangers to public health of adding synthetic folic acid to flour.
We laid out the flawed rationale and lack of safety studies to justify the new mandate and the lack of wisdom and ethics in seeking to mass medicate the UK public through a staple food. As the risks outweigh the benefit for the majority of the population we urged him to repeal the amendment.
View LetterDownload PDFDr Craig explains to UKMFA the background on the decision to mass-medicate the public with folic acid. She breaks down the flawed rationale and bogus safety data and exposes the little-known, but potentially serious, risks to health.
HART have written a series of articles to educate and inform the public, doctors and politicians on the science behind synthetic folic acid fortification of flour, and debunking the claims made by proponents of fortification.
