Abstract
AbstractThe British Government's Voluntary Flour Sampling Scheme was designed in 1957 to replace the National Flour Survey which had operated from the War years. With the cooperation of the milling industry, representative samples of wheat flours milled in the United Kingdom for human consumption were obtained by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food for nutritional analysis at the Laboratory of the Government Chemist. The Scheme has operated continuously since then and the results show that each type of flour has remained almost constant in nutritional composition with year‐to‐year variations 5% or less from the mean for almost all nutrients. As flour and flour‐based cereal products are consumed in large amounts, the data obtained have significant nutritional implications which are discussed in the context of the national average dietary intakes.
