Annie Barr MBE – The Folate issue and why it’s important

AnnieBarr-MBE

The UK laid legislation in November 2024 mandating folic acid fortification of non-wholemeal wheat flour, coming fully into force in December 2026.

This aligns with countries like USA and Canada, which have fortified flour with folic acid for decades. In any case, some flour in UK has been being fortified already. We have concerns that this might not be in patients’ best interests.

Annie Barr would like to host an interactive session where she can provide a bit of background and then we can discuss the pros and cons of folic acid supplements, of fortifying flour, and of legislation to require it, and help B12d.org to have a position on the topic.
