<p>In the UK iron, niacin and thiamin are added back by law to all UK milled flour
(except wholemeal) to restore nutrients lost in milling. Flour milled in the UK is
also fortified with calcium to reduce the risk of calcium deficiency, a condition
associated with poor bone health and osteoporosis. The Government is currently considering
requests to exempt certain minor flour uses from these mandatory fortification requirements.
This exercise could be extended to consider exempting traditional stoneground mills
producing low volumes of flour should a case be made.</p>
