The ingredients in tortillas sold in California will soon change forever in hopes that a new ingredient will boost infant health, as critics worry the taste of the popular food could change too.
Beginning New Year’s Day, most tortillas and corn masa products sold in the state will be required to contain folic acid, a vitamin that’s vital to baby health.
But critics warn it could forever affect the taste of the state’s tacos. Even though the required dose is tiny, folic acid doesn’t taste great.
Los Angeles Times columnist Gustavo Arellano put it to the test last year — and the results weren’t pretty. In a blind taste test between a regular tortilla and one loaded with the B vitamin, he and tortilla factory owners could immediately spot the difference.
Between 2017 and 2019, data showed about 28 percent of Latinas reported taking folic acid the month before becoming pregnant, while white women checked in at 46 percent, according to the California Department of Public Health.
So, the idea is that Latino women will eat more of the tortillas with the folic acid, instead of, say, recommending they take folic acid pills, readily available at any drugstore, Walmart, vitamin store, etc?
Alabama has passed its own version of the law, which goes into effect in June 2026.
So, they’re going to ruin them, too.
Some manufacturers have already been adding folic acid to their products. Mission Foods said it started fortifying its foods back in 2016, when the federal government first allowed it, and it supports the new laws in California and Alabama.
They have all sorts of weird types of tortillas, so, can’t tell you if they are good or not, as I avoid them. I like the La Banderita or Guerrero ones.
The government know better than you do, you evil reich-wing extremist! Just shut up and do as you’re told.

The feds have already forced folic acid into your flours, cereals, etc, all because some pregnant women won’t eat right resulting in neural tube defects, miscarriages and preemies!!!!
Another example of Big Medicine and The Deep State control!!!
All this because your mother didn’t eat right while pregnant with you.
Everything’s a Crusade with you. And here I thought The Crusades were bad.
We get it. Alabama and California are against birth defects so you and William are PRO-BIRTH DEFECTS!!
Think for yourself!
“Think for yourself!”
The irony is breathtaking. And funny as hell.
Will the change in taste be enough of a difference to cause women to start making their own tortillas again? We shall see.
Flour, Kosher salt, baking powder, olive oil or vegetable oil (I use avocado oil) and warm water.
My son has been making his own for years and I usually get some from him. Easy to make and control what is in them. If only I had a local source for Italian flour.

Eating healthy takes just a little effort and screw the gov’t overlords that want to control all we do.
The Facist State of Alabama passed a similar law forcing folic acid into corn masa!!
Folic acid reduces birth defects by about 70 percent.
Meanwhile, the other 30 percent is here throwing around the “fascist” label as if it means anything.
California and Alabama are clever – they now have MAGAts squealing in SUPPORT of birth defects!!!
MAGAts are in love with birth defects!!!

MAGAts are in love with birth defects!!! But why? Is it your inability to distinguish fact from fiction?
BTW: Agnostics or atheists recognize that there is no evidence supporting the existence of gods or supreme beings (except Willie Mays, Jack Nicklaus, Wilt, Serena, Tom Brady. Edwin Moses, Caitlin Clark, Jackie Joyner etc).
In addition, agnostics and atheists just believe in one less god than you do! You don’t believe in Zeus, Osiris, Allah, Jupiter, or the hundreds of other gods do you? Me either. You don’t accept 1000 gods, while I don’t accept 1001.

Never an original thought.
Sad really.
If there’s no evidence supporting the existence of the Supreme Being, then neither is there evidence supporting the existence of your mind.
I’ll wait to do my own taste test. It would be ridiculous to have to drive to Reno to get decent tasting food too.
