Hi everyone, am hoping to get some answers from fellow members. Is bleached flour allowed to be imported into Canada without the enrichment?
We are wondering if bleached flour can be used to make our frozen pizza crust in order to substitute the required enrichment rule.
Thank you everyone for your help on this.

Prohibition against the sale of unenriched white flour and products containing unenriched flour

The mandatory enrichment of white flour with B vitamins, iron and folic acid is a cornerstone of Canada's fortification program aimed at helping to prevent nutrient deficiencies and maintain or improve the nutritional quality of the food supply. Flour enrichment is used as a public health tool because of its widespread use in foods consumed regularly by a large majority of the population.

Compliance with Canadian Legislation

It is the responsibility of all manufacturers, importers and distributors of foods to ensure that their products comply with Canadian legislation and other relevant guidelines and policies.
