They're Putting Medicine in the Flour - And Calling It Public Health
In this video we examine the UK's new mandatory folic acid fortification policy, set to take full effect in December 2026. Non-wholemeal wheat flour will be required to contain synthetic folic acid under the Bread and Flour (Amendment) Regulations 2024.

The difference between natural folate and synthetic folic acid
How folic acid is regulated when sold as a medicine versus when it is added to food
