NZMA welcomes Government putting health before profit
The decision to mandate the addition of folic acid to bread shows important health decisions are often best made by Government leadership, not left to the private sector.
The NZMA has long advocated for the addition of folic acid to reduce birth defects and miscarriages.
It has made several submissions to successive Governments, and Chair Dr Alistair Humphrey says it’s pleasing this Government has finally taken the action the organisation wanted.
“Our congratulations and thanks to Minister Verrall for this important step. This shows leadership and commitment to the health of New Zealanders,” he said.
