To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the case for continued fortification of bread and flour with calcium and the impact any change would have on osteoporosis rates in England. [HL606]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the case for continued fortification of bread and flour with calcium and the impact any change would have on osteoporosis rates in England. [HL606]
The Government asked the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) to consider the implications of removal of the regulations on public health. The SACN concluded that removal of added calcium from flour would increase the proportion of the population with low intakes from 15% to 21% for girls; from 8% to 12% for boys; and from 6% to 9% for women aged 19 to 64 years. This could increase rates of osteoporosis but it is not possible to assess the precise impact since bone health is affected by other lifestyle factors.
The National Diet and Nutrition Survey demonstrates that a high proportion of girls and women already have low iron in the United Kingdom. The SACN concluded that removal of iron from wheat flour would increase the proportions with poor intake of iron from 44% to 50% for girls and from 22% to 25% for women aged 19 to 64 years.
The SACN conclusions have been utilised in the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) consultation on the Bread and Flour Regulations. This consultation ended in March and the department is working with Defra in considering the responses.
