Stop the plans to add folic acid to flour because of allergies

Petition Details

News that folic acid is to be added to flour could be bad news for the future health of children. Folic acid during pregnancy has been linked to food allergies in later childhood. Increased allergies increase the burden on NHS. Some allergies are potentially fatal.
