The Act 41 Geo 3 c 16, sometimes called the Making of Bread Act 1800, the Making of Bread, etc. Act 1800, and popularly named the Brown Bread Act or the Poison Act, was an Act of the Parliament of Great Britain that prohibited millers from producing any flour other than wholemeal flour. The Act was introduced as one of a series of measures to deal with a severe food shortage, caused at least partly by the poor wheat harvest of 1799. Labourers and their families at that time lived very largely on bread, the price of which could account for more than half of their weekly wages. The Act proved to be very unpopular, and impossible to enforce. So concerned was the government by the civil unrest that resulted, the Act was repealed after less than two months. One account from Horsham, in Sussex,

The Act proved to be very unpopular, and impossible to enforce. So concerned was the government by the civil unrest that resulted, the Act was repealed after less than two months. One account from Horsham, in Sussex, demonstrates the depth of public feeling: A number of women ... proceeded to Gosden wind-mill, where, abusing the miller for having served them with brown flour, they seized on the cloth with which he was then dressing meal according to the directions of the Bread Act, and cut it into a thousand pieces; threatening at the same time to serve all similar utensils he might in future attempt to use in the same manner.
