S.4193

Fortifies corn masa flour and wet corn masa products with folic acid to reduce neural tube defects.

The Fortifying Corn Masa Act mandates the fortification of corn masa flour and wet corn masa products with folic acid to address health disparities, particularly in Latino communities. Corn masa flour must contain 0.7 milligrams of folic acid per pound, while wet corn masa products must contain 0.4 milligrams per pound. The bill also requires labeling to declare folic acid content and whether the product contains corn masa flour or was made using a wet corn masa process.
