Application / Intended Use
Folic acid is added to flour, breakfast cereals and infant formula under national fortification programmes, and formulated into prenatal and multivitamin supplements. Typical fortification is in the microgram range per serving, so it is almost always dosed as a dilution or premix rather than neat, to achieve uniform distribution.
