Health bill faces Senate hurdles in Virginia
In Richmond on February 12 the Dalton health bill to enrich flour and bread with vitamins ran into new Senate floor difficulties and was sent back to the general laws committee for revision. Critics object that it places responsibility on makers not sellers and could bar organizations from baking for schools unless flour is enriched. The bill also risks widespread port of entry checks on flour imported from Tennessee.
