Legislation has been introduced that will see folic acid added to non-wholemeal flour in Northern Ireland.

The move will aim to protect newborn babies from serious brain and spine problems.

Women who could become pregnant, before conception and up until the 12th week of pregnancy should still take a folic acid supplement.

The new measures will come into effect from 2026.

@RestIsPolitics @kessler_ed We have an interfaith network at work, various beliefs represented all with their own USPs. As a Christian I’ve found so many commonalities especially in the 3 Abrahamic faiths. So enriching. Great Leading episode 😀
