Re: “The repeating history of objections to the fortification of bread and alcohol: from iron filings to folic acid”, a letter by Hasantha Gunasekera in the 18 September issue of the journal (Med J Aust 2006; 185: 343). The Food Standards Australia New Zealand proposal for fortification was changed after the letter was accepted for publication, to propose fortification of bread, rather than bread-making flour.
The first sentence of the letter should read: “The recent viewpoint by Kamien1 is timely, given Food Standards Australia New Zealand is currently advocating for the mandatory fortification of bread with folic acid (80–180 μg per 100 g of bread).”
