Establishes "Fortifying Corn Masa Act."
What changed between versions
New definition of 'grocery store' as a store primarily engaged in retail sale of canned foods, dry goods, fresh produce, and fresh meats/fish/poultry, including convenience stores.
New definition of 'snack foods' covering trail mix, popcorn, chips, crackers, hard pretzels, pork rinds, corn nuts, nuts (excluding pine nuts and candy-coated nuts), and packaged soft drinks with natural or artificial sweeteners.
The exemption in Section 4(d)(2) was expanded from only cottage food operators to also include grocery stores that sell both fortified and non-fortified corn masa flour, and snack foods. This means these categories are no longer required to meet the folic acid fortification standard.
The legislative statement section at the end of the bill was removed in the reprint version.
