Baking Industry to Hold Bread Summit
Baking Industry to Hold Bread Summit
Tomorrow
representatives of the New Zealand baking industry will meet
in Wellington to discuss the voluntary fortification of
bread with folic
acid at a national Bread Summit.
“We have taken on board the views of Prime Minister John Key that it is important to have a wider range of breads available for women of childbearing age”, said Laurie Powell, President of the NZ Association of Bakers.
The summit will be attended by representatives of all parts of the bread industry.
“While the Government’s final decision to defer the mandatory food standard has yet to be confirmed, it is the industry’s aim to demonstrate that we can work constructively within a voluntary regime, which provides New Zealander’s choice and does not require dosing the entire nation”, Mr Powell said.
