The government are contravening Section 7 of The Food Safety Act 1990, which states "It is a criminal offence to add or remove anything from food, or treat it in a way that makes it injurious to health".
Folic Acid raises cancer risk amongst other health issues.

[Beleaguered Brit @LikkyJeaks]

@Waitrose has closed the door on a customer trying to avoid synthetic folic acid.

After weeks of correspondence (Case 19308882) they wrote:

“Please refer to my email on 20/10, where I advised that we are unable to assist you further on this matter, as all available information has already been shared. Please note that while any further correspondence will be logged on your file, it may not be responded to.”

One slice of fortified bread is fine. Ordinary daily intake of bread + cereal + pie/pastry + biscuits easily exceeds 300–450 μg — well over the 200 μg level previously advised for over-50s because of B12-masking risk.

A substantial part of Waitrose’s core customer base is over 50. They have no system to identify folic-acid-free products and no plan to warn customers about cumulative exposure.

@ClareCraigPath has highlighted the issues with unmetabolised folic acid and the limits of the safety data. Retailers following the mandate still have a duty to consider cumulative effects under the Food Safety Act.

If you want to help prevent men developing prostate cancer, protest the introduction of folic acid, that more than doubles the risk.

HOLY SH!T

If you are concerned about the folic acid in our bread issue, THIS is a MUST WATCH video!

I had no idea

I don't think any of us do..

[Gary Goldsmith @ChefGoldsmith]

@A1an_M Incorrect im afraid, Under the legislation from 13th December 2026.Products containing milled white flour are as follows. Products entering the UK must by the legislation contain Folic Acid which is Horrid. It also does not exclude Wholwheat Legislation⬇️ https://t.co/c1dI8ABXeu

🚨NOW YOU KNOW WHY PETITION IS SUPPRESSED🚨👇😵

[Lyn Middlehurst @LynMWriter]

Given that even the NHS warns people with stents, cancer and prostrate problems that synthetic Folic Acid is not a good idea, government appears to be wearing blinkers......

They are putting drugs in our food that might harm us

Why the hell did we ever let them put drugs in our food without good reason?

I'm very unlikely to become pregnant. I might get Prostate cancer.

Stop increasing my risk of prostate cancer in my food.

Dickheads.

This is an excellent 10 min video explaining the FOLIC ACID issues by Dr Hoenderkamp.

SYNTHETIC FOLIC ACID is being added to everyday foods.
This is NOT the same as naturally occurring folate in food.
Don’t want it added to yours without a choice?
SIGN THE PETITION. 👇

Calling all entrepreneurs!

Never was there a better time to build independent flour mill start ups.

Selling flour directly to independent bakeries & free all of us from government synthetic medicated flour.

I know we can do this!

There is an absolute FORTUNE to be made!

[Gary Goldsmith @ChefGoldsmith]

@VictoriaHa50399 Great idea to overcome this Horrid Folic Acid situation. HOWEVER, new mills musf Must mill under 500 metric tons to not qualify for the new horrid legislation on 13th December 2026.....

[Gary Goldsmith @ChefGoldsmith]

@ChrisMilbank @sainsburys Great.👍👍😊 However,reality check by people revealed that many signature have been removed by certain authority people,guess who,as when they go back to look,there signaure hasnt registered.Thats why the petition is slow in numbers, the future will reveal this.
