California's AB 1830 took effect January 1, 2026, requiring folic acid to be added to corn masa at 0.7 milligrams per pound and declared on labels. Chefs and tortilla makers have criticized the mandate.
The rule is a food-processing and labeling requirement affecting masa producers and has little direct effect on feed grain or commodity prices.
After 1,623 past policy events, Corn moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (51% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.5%), and +0.4% over 20.
Moves of each commodity's benchmark from the last close before the event. Historical reads pool past events of the same kind; they describe what happened, not what will. Not investment advice.
