- Abstract: Objective:To simulate effects of different scenarios of folic acid fortification offood on dietary folate equivalents (DFE) intake in an ethnically diverse sample ofpregnant women.Design:A forty-four-item FFQ was used to evaluate dietary intake of thepopulation. DFE intakes were estimated for different scenarios of food fortificationwith folic acid: (i) voluntary fortification; (ii) increased voluntary fortification; (iii)simulated bread mandatory fortification; and (iv) simulated grains-and-ricemandatory fortification.Setting:Ethnically and socio-economically diverse cohort of pregnant women inNew Zealand.Participants:Pregnant women (n5664) whose children were born in 2009–2010.Results:Participants identified their ethnicity as European (56·0 %), Asian (14·2 %),Māori (13·2 %), Pacific (12·8 %) or Others (3·8 %). Bread, breakfast cereals andyeast spread were main food sources of DFE in the two voluntary fortificationscenarios. However, for Asian women, green leafy vegetables, bread and breakfastcereals were main contributors of DFE in these scenarios. In descending order,proportions of different ethnic groups in the lowest tertile of DFE intake for thefour fortification scenarios were: Asian (39–60 %), Others (41–44 %), European(31–37 %), Pacific (23–26 %) and Māori (23–27 %). In comparisons within eachethnic group across scenarios of food fortification with folic acid, differences wereobserved only with DFE intake higher in the simulated grains-and-rice mandatoryfortificationv. other scenarios.Conclusions:If grain and rice fortification with folic acid was mandatory in NewZealand, DFE intakes would be more evenly distributed among pregnant womenof different ethnicities, potentially reducing ethnic group differences in risk oflower folate intakes
