[3] Standard 2.1.1 is varied by –

[3.1] omitting the Purpose, substituting –

This Standard defines a number of products composed of cereals, qualifies the use of the term ‘bread’, and requires the mandatory fortification of wheat flour for making bread with folate in Australia and thiamin, in Australia only.

[3.2] omitting clause 4, substituting –

4 Wheat flour for making bread

Note:
This clause does not apply in New Zealand.
It is the intention that a variation to this clause will be developed for New Zealand. In the interim, however, New Zealand has varied from this clause under Annex D of the Agreement between the Government of Australia and the Government of New Zealand Concerning a Joint Food Standards System, and has issued a food standard under section 11C of the New Zealand Food Act 1981.

(1) Subclause 1(2) of Standard 1.1.1 does not apply to this clause.

(2) Wheat flour for making bread must contain –

(a) no less than 2 mg/kg and no more than 3 mg/kg of folic acid; and

(b) no less than 6.4 mg/kg of thiamin.

(3) For the purposes of this clause wheat flour includes wholemeal wheat flour for bread making.

(4) Subclause 4(2) does not apply to wheat flour for making bread, which is represented as organic.

(5) Paragraph 4(2)(b) does not apply to wheat flour for making bread sold or prepared for sale in, or imported into, New Zealand.

Editorial note:
The maximum limit for folic acid given in paragraph 4(2)(a) ensures the addition of folic acid to wheat flour for making bread in Australia is in controlled amounts to provide for a safe population intake of dietary folic acid. Paragraph 4(2)(a) will be reviewed, when sufficient monitoring data are available to assess the impact of this mandatory requirement.

Paragraph 4(2)(b) will be reviewed to assess the future need for this mandatory requirement.

Standard 1.3.2 regulates the voluntary addition of folate to both cereal flours and bread. These permissions will be retained to enable manufacturers to fortify specialised non-wheat flour and breads, such as, gluten free bread.
