As most of my posts are INVISIBLE to lovely folks who do NOT follow me: Can someone get this message back to the @theFreds to ask if they will help us get this message out? We need lovely BIG VOICES now.

Another one from M&S! @marksandspencer Can you PLEASE ADD synthetic folic acid to your ingredients lists online. The Folic Acid Government mandate becomes LAW on the 13th of December. This means that "Folic Acid" MUST be added to all UK white flour, & white flour makes the pastry that goes into thousands of British food items. The Government asked that UK flour millers start adding this as far back as 2024 (two year transition period) which means most UK white flour has this ALREADY INCLUDED. So, are you M&S not aware of this? Do the manufacturers of your products not ADVISE you of the synthetic folic acid content of the flour they use, to make your products? Or will you just add the INCLUSION of folic acid AFTER the mandate date has passed, when most people will have already have bought or ordered their Christmas shopping from you? Just to stay within the confines of the law? IF your products are made using white UK flour, which has folic acid INCLUDED, it should be reflected on your ingredient list. Please keep your customers informed. Synthetic Folic Acid is highly dangerous for cancer suffers, & people with serious medical conditions.
