Summary
We received 369 responses to this consultation, reflecting a broad range of views.
Read the full summary of responses and government response on GOV.UK.
Following careful consideration of these responses, the UK government and devolved administrations have agreed to proceed with several of the proposed amendments to the Bread and Flour Regulations 1998, including the mandatory addition of 250 micrograms of folic acid per 100 grams of non-wholemeal wheat flour. We will notify the World Trade Organization (all UK) and the European Commission (for changes in Northern Ireland) in accordance with international obligations, with a view to making the legislative changes later in 2024.
