PURPOSE
To present a case study of the considerations of mandatory fortification with folic acid in Australia and New Zealand.
METHODS
Review of published reports and consumer advocacy views.
RESULTS
Australia and New Zealand jointly approved mandatory fortification of flour with folic acid to prevent neural tube defects in 2007. Fortification was fully implemented in Australia in 2009 and has resulted in reduction in NTD. At the last minute, industry lobbying led to the New Zealand government not proceeding with fortification. With continued consumer advocacy, mounting scientific evidence, and a change of government, approval was given in 2021 for mandatory fortification of flour with folic acid.
CONCLUSION
In large part as a response to consumer pressure, New Zealand has now joined with Australia (and around 70 other countries) in fortifying flour with folic acid for the prevention of NTD.
目的
介绍澳大利亚和新西兰强制叶酸强化的考虑因素案例研究。
方法
审查已发表的报告和消费者权益倡导者的观点。
结果
澳大利亚和新西兰于 2007 年联合批准在面粉中强制添加叶酸以预防神经管缺陷。强化措施于 2009 年在澳大利亚全面实施，并已导致神经管缺陷减少。在最后一刻，行业游说导致新西兰政府决定不进行强化。随着消费者权益倡导者的持续努力、越来越多的科学证据以及政府更迭，2021 年批准了在面粉中强制添加叶酸。
结论
在很大程度上是为了回应消费者的压力，新西兰现在与澳大利亚（和其他大约 70 个国家）一起在面粉中强化叶酸以预防神经管缺陷。
