Overview
This bill, the ‘Fortifying Corn Masa Act,’ requires that corn masa flour, a staple ingredient in many Latino dishes, be fortified with folic acid. It also allows for the fortification of wet corn masa products and includes specific labeling requirements. The Senate amendments clarify definitions of ‘grocery store’ and ‘snack foods’ to ensure the bill’s scope is properly understood. This aims to increase folic acid intake among consumers who regularly use corn masa flour.
