All Natural Ingredients: Unbleached Unbromated Wheat Flour

Unbleached unbromated wheat flour is a common ingredient made by grinding wheat kernels. "Unbleached" means it has not been chemically whitened, and "unbromated" means it does not contain potassium bromate, a flour improver. This type of flour is often chosen for its natural processing.

Manufacturers use unbleached unbromated wheat flour to provide structure and texture in baked goods like bread, cookies, and cakes. It is a fundamental ingredient that helps create the desired consistency and rise in many food products.

Wheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in food. The "unbromated" aspect means it does not contain potassium bromate, which is permitted by the FDA as a flour treatment agent, though California will ban it from 2027. JECFA has stated that potassium bromate is not appropriate as a flour treatment agent and has not set an acceptable daily intake. The "unbleached" aspect means no chemical bleaching agents like benzoyl peroxide or chlorine gas were used to whiten the flour.
